Working From Anywhere, Without Risk: Remote Work Security Made Simple
💻 Remote Work is Here to Stay — But So Are the Threats
Flexible working is great for staff morale, recruitment and productivity. But for many businesses, it also opens the door to new IT headaches especially when staff are working on unmanaged devices, unsecured Wi-Fi or storing files all over the place.
If your team can work from anywhere, your IT needs to protect them everywhere.
🚨 4 Common Risks We See in Remote & Hybrid Setups
🔓 1. Weak or missing passwords Still using a single password for multiple systems? That’s an open invite to cybercriminals.
📂 2. Files saved to local devices If someone’s laptop is stolen or breaks, your data goes with it, unless you’re backing up properly.
📱 3. Personal devices with no controls Allowing staff to use their own devices without endpoint protection or app policies puts your data at risk.
🌐 4. No Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) If you’re not using MFA, you’re vulnerable even if your passwords are strong.
The Fix: Remote Security Made Simple
At CloudHost, we help you stay secure without making life harder for your team. Here’s how:
✅ Device Management (MDM): Control who accesses what, from which devices. Lock or wipe lost devices remotely.
✅ Microsoft 365 Security Policies: Set up rules to prevent risky behaviour (like downloading sensitive files to personal laptops).
✅ Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA): Easy to use, hard to beat.
✅ Cloud Backups: Ensure files are backed up daily, even from home devices.
✅ Security Awareness Training: Help your staff become your first line of defence.
🧠 Real-World Example: A Client’s Hybrid Setup, Secured.
We recently worked with a client whose team worked from laptops, tablets, and mobiles—many of which weren’t company-owned. We deployed Microsoft Intune, set up MFA and conditional access, and ensured 365 backups across all accounts.
Now, the business is fully protected, data is secure, and staff are free to work from home, on the go, or in the office; without stress.
