Working from home? Cyber security a ‘top priority’

"They're remoting into a computer in the network, or they are connecting some other way, so they can continue to work--access files on the network. They're doing that, and most people's home network isn't very secure," said Steve Quinn with how much do computer scientists make Professional  .

"It's really important to make sure that whatever method you are using to access information at your office is secure because if not than you are basically exposing your entire office network to vulnerabilities and hackers, those kinds of things," he added.

In early April, the FBI issued warnings about online video chat platforms like Zoom.

While the technology isn't new, experts say many more people are using the services than ever before. Hackers are taking advantage, and in many cases, they have the ability to listen in, view, or even jump into unsecured meetings.

"If you are using a platform or in a situation where you are governed by any regulations, like HIPPA or banking regulations, those kinds of things, you have to make sure that the platform you are using is secure and encrypted from end to end," Quinn said.

Some platforms don't have that security. If your business wants to use the services to stay connected, it's important to learn which are the most secure.
