Safe at Home - Cyber Security Resources for Working and Studying Remotely

A guide to adapting to our changing landscape

The pandemic has flipped our work-lives upside down. Where we're working, how we're working and what devices we're working from has changed at the drop of a hat. We are now operating in a scenario that none of us could have ever dreamed of.

To add to this, hackers, spammers and scammers are using this opportunity to their advantage and doubling down on their efforts to cause trouble worldwide.  Since COVID-19, the US FBI reported a 300% increase in reported cybercrimes!

In an effort to mitigate these mounting risks, we need to become ever more vigilant.

Please visit the pages below to learn how you can better protect yourself in your new work environment.
