Home Office Because of Corona – This Is How It Works

The proportion of employees who want or need to work from home is increasing daily. But those who have never worked in a home office before have a few things to consider. Because data security is the top priority when working from your home desk. So what is the most important thing when working from home? We have answered the most important questions.

Data must be stored and transported securely

At work, every employee can easily access all drives and directories on the company’s internal server or the connected cloud via secure data lines. Data transfer is encrypted or via a specially secured Virtual Private Network (VPN). The situation is different via the home Internet connection. Here the data lines are usually open like a barn door. And the use of open cloud services such as Dropbox, Google Drive or OneDrive is for many reasons not recommended or even prohibited for sensitive information or professional secrets.

Switching to HomeOffice must be quick

COVID-19 has Europe and Germany firmly under control. The early warning time was very short, so that in many companies no infrastructures for home office could be created yet. Therefore it is important to enable work from the home office as soon as possible. The accustomed handling of files should not be disturbed as much as possible in order not to provoke data leaks or unnecessary memory consumption. The clean versioning of data as well as the audit-proof handling of digital information must also be guaranteed at the home office.

Mobile working must be made possible

Now there are also situations where you are on the road and want to access data on the move. Here the smartphone usually plays an important role. It is therefore important to ensure that data is available variably on several end devices.

The solution for inexpensive and secure work in the home office

TeamDrive’s virtual drives are the solution for a quick and secure transition to work from home. They create shared workspaces in the cloud and thus establish a connection between the home office and the workplace. The virtual rooms meet all German standards for data protection and data security and are also designed to be audit-proof. Setting up is child’s play and can be done without complicated and expensive VPN configuration.

In a good HomeOffice solution many secure data rooms or work areas can be set up. For this purpose, different access authorizations can be assigned, for example.

All data is transmitted end-to-end encrypted. The work with Microsoft Office applications can be done as before. Files are automatically synchronized and versioned. Access can be made via the home PC, the mobile work laptop or via mobile app on the smartphone.

This makes TeamDrive the solution for secure, efficient and fast home offices.
