SANS Security Awareness Work-from-Home Deployment Kit

Everything you need to help your employees create a secure work-from-home environment in the new remote work world.

Work and Learn from Home Securely

In 2020, we saw an increase in cyber threats due to the coronavirus pandemic disrupting business as usual. Organizations and school districts worldwide were forced to quickly implement new technologies and work-from-home policies. Not only did this pose new challenges for organizations to secure their remote workforce, but it also put an even greater burden on their employees and their households who had to quickly adapt to the new way of working and learning from home — and do so safely and securely. Now more than ever, we need to enable our employees to be the best line of defense and equip them with the right tools to combat persistent and evolving cybersecurity threats and risks.

Fortunately, there are simple — yet critical — steps your employees can take to ensure they can work remotely from home as securely as possible. Even more, these tips will help to make a far more safe and secure home for your employees and their families moving forward.
