Today, many businesses allow employees to work from home. Employees are moving toward an at-home and hybrid working paradigm in both small and large firms.
As of February 2022, 42% of employees who could work remotely had a hybrid schedule, while 39% of them worked full-time from their homes. Only 19% of people worked full-time.
Better work-life balance for employees and increased productivity are two advantages of this new paradigm. Employers and employees can both make financial savings in a number of ways.
But working with a remote team has its share of difficulties. A large one carries a larger chance of malware infestation or data leak. Network security is much more difficult when a team works remotely.
According to a Malwarebytes study on remote team security, 20% of businesses last year experienced a breach that was caused by a remote employee.
Placing IoT devices in a home on a different Wi-Fi network than other, more sensitive devices is one of the advised strategies to prevent risk.

Below are the steps to follow to set up your IoT network:
- Log into the router’s configuration.
