Working from home is the new norm for the majority of tech-enabled businesses. However, the significant shift in paradigm from your workforce being located on your office network to being distributed can make cracks appear in a network's security and reliability.

The Internet of Things has brought an explosion of internet-connected devices to the market. However, a lot of these devices are often poorly secured or have weak default passwords that are easily guessed that provide an easy target for cyber criminals to use as a foot-hold on your network.
