As the total number of people working from home has grown dramatically in the last year or two, so has the number of individuals who use all of their own technology for their jobs.

If you're a remote worker who relies on your own PC to get your work done, then you may be at a heightened risk for some of the major threats that are impacting the computer industry as a whole.

Newly minted remote workers might still be used to the idea of having IT department staffers around to install updates and monitor their security programs.

Take advantage of this sort of opportunity if it's available, because it's usually free and can impart quite a bit of information about the best ways to harden any remote software you have to use to communicate with your work.

Take a few moments to think about what you're downloading as well, since you don't want to inadvertently cause harm to a PC that you're also using for work.

Torrents are often considered dangerous, and there's always the risk that someone might be able to see what you're downloading, especially if you're tapping into a remote network for work.
