Stronger searching can be the difference between planning a trip to Paris, France, or Paris, Texas. Here are four tips to take your googling above and beyond.

Catch the travel bug from your co-workers’ vacay pics? Use reverse image search to find picture-perfect spots, even if you don’t know the name.

Do your research using credible sources. Searching “Paris, France transportation” will bring up results from travel agencies, bloggers, and anyone with internet. Adding a site search like site colon .fr can help you restrict your search to info from local sources.

You can also use site search with a specific domain or website to find artwork from your favorite painter for a trip to the museum.

Pick a prime Parisian pâtissier with Boolean search. Find the best bakeries to get one of your favorite French treats by adding OR between two queries. Then again, why not have both? Bon voyage.

With more and more people working remotely these days, it’s as important as ever to keep you and your company’s data safe. Around 90% of data breaches are caused by human error. So with that said, here are some examples of the security risks that come with working from home and how to solve them.

The most obvious risks are physical. It’s much easier to have a laptop or phone stolen than a desktop computer that’s permanently located in your office. When working from public places, never leave your devices unattended. Always keep your devices within reach. Put them away and take them with you even if you plan to only get up for a second. Be sure to also watch out for looky-loos peering at your screen.

Avoid working in areas where people can look over your shoulder such as in front of windows or in the middle of a cafe. Even when you’re working from home, be vigilant about children and pets. They can easily delete work by accident or access files that shouldn’t be tampered with.

It’s good practice to create separate accounts for work and personal use with different passwords for each and to get in the habit of locking your screen when you walk away from your computer. You can even place your computer in a locked cabinet or room for extra safety when you aren’t working.

The less obvious risks are digital and can come in many forms. Many personal computers may not have the proper antivirus and anti-malware software installed. This can leave you wide open to phishing scams and hackers hijacking information. Whether you’re using your personal computer or work computer. The best method here is to never open emails from people you don’t trust or click on links or open attachments that seem suspicious.

You should also always use company-approved software for your work. Not all software is developed with the same security standards and third-party software can easily compromise the security of your device. Password security is also extremely important. Leaving post-its with passwords attached to your monitor or reusing the same password for all of your accounts is like having no password at all. It’s best practice to use a password manager, which makes it easy to create and update strong individual passwords for all of your accounts. Just remember that the password manager software you use should be approved by your company ahead of time.

Lastly, whether you’re connecting to the internet through a private home network or a public shared network, VPNs are the best method to keep you as secure as possible. VPNs work by routing all of the data coming from your computer through a private server, essentially blocking any unwanted visitors that may be connected to the same network. Follow these guidelines while working remotely to ensure you work as securely as possible.

Video Transcription: Cybersecurity Threat Spy Scenario

Good evening, agent. Your mission is to take down the evil Dr. Ogma. Here’s the rundown on tonight’s cyber attack at OGMA HQ. It’s simple. Gain access spread the computer virus, destroy the data. Your destination is the application room located at the core of the building. There is only one way in.

First, climb through the Wi-Fi tunnel to the entry portal. Hide yourself in the incoming mail. There may be security guards on duty, but they seldom check. Once you’re in the storeroom, wait until the right moment to attack. Your friendly disguise should protect you from being noticed. And the antivirus system is out of date, so you should slip past easily.

Next, find the application center, and do your work quickly. Install the virus. You may find that the computer is password-protected, but you can usually see the password written down nearby, or make it easy to guess. Once installed, the virus will spread immediately. Get out before anyone notices.

Good luck. I look forward to your update.
