You would be surprised to see how many Internet users have left their routers wide open to attack by failing to follow basic router security configurations. According to a study performed by Broadband Genie1 over 3000 broadband users,
- 47% of Internet users have never adjusted their router factory settings
- 81% have never changed their admin password
- 69% have never changed their Wi-Fi password
If that’s you, your remote work setup is essentially an open door to hackers.
I’ve put together a quick guide on the 5 most overlooked home router misconfigurations that are putting remote workers at risk and, more importantly, exactly how to fix them in minutes.
The good news? These aren’t complicated. Most of these fixes take less time than your morning coffee. Swipe through the PDF to see what you might be missing, and let me know if you have questions on securing your network.
