Comments on: Telecommuting Security Leaks: Who is at fault? http://www.theappgap.com/telecommuting-security-leaks-who-is-at-fault.html Apps, Strategies, and Best Practices for Web-based work Wed, 25 Jan 2012 16:56:14 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Shiv Singh http://www.theappgap.com/telecommuting-security-leaks-who-is-at-fault.html/comment-page-1#comment-21746 Shiv Singh Fri, 21 Nov 2008 01:07:31 +0000 http://www.theappgap.com/telecommuting-security-leaks-who-is-at-fault.html#comment-21746 I found your comments very interesting and I suspect that one factor at play is that it is harder for telecommuters to separate their professional lives from their personal ones. As a result, when working at home and sometimes from the same machine that they send emails to friends and store personal photos, it is easier to follow insecure data practices without realizing it. I've a friend who telecommutes and he's able to separate work and play by using different logins. It forces him to think in a more professional frame (which includes remembering security policies) when he's working. It also allows him to focus better.
