Make sure you have an up-to-date antivirus to filter out viruses from the files you receive.		Wash your hands often.

Don't let anyone else use your devices and don't leave them unattended. Do not use other devices than your employer-provided computers and phones.		Avoid touching your face.
Use a Virtual Private Network (VPN) to connect to your work environments.		Keep your distance.
Security patches are the medicine for computers. Don't skip them! Make sure you install security updates regularly.		Keep a supply of food and medicine.
