6. Use virtual private networks (VPNs): Use a VPN to create a secure connection to your network when working remotely.

7. Secure your Wi-Fi: Change the default login credentials on your Wi-Fi router and use WPA2 encryption to protect your Wi-Fi network. Also, limit access to your Wi-Fi network to authorized users only.

8. Limit access to sensitive data: Restrict access to sensitive data to only authorized users and implement access controls.

9. Regularly backup your data: Regularly backup your business data to protect against data loss in case of a security breach.
