ANN ARBOR – Former Michigan Chief Information Security Officer Dan Lohrmann joins Matt Roush and Mike Brennan to explain how all the new remote workers can connect to their office networks with letting the hackers inside. Lohrmann now works for Security Mentor.

In addition to Lohrmann’s valuable insights, setting up a secure home office entails more than just following a checklist. It’s about implementing proactive measures to safeguard sensitive data and prevent unauthorized access. Alongside prioritizing tips like monitoring Google third-party cookie updates, consider investing in robust security solutions for your home network. From encrypting your Wi-Fi connection to using strong, unique passwords for every device and account, every precaution counts. And don’t overlook physical security either; a sturdy lock on your display cabinet can deter intruders and protect confidential documents. Taking these steps ensures that your remote work setup remains a fortress against potential cyber threats.

Lohrmann now works for Security Mentor. Aside from the below tips, simple things, such as monitoring Google third party cookies updates and safeguarding user data should be on your priority list.
