Mobile work safety

In our connected world, security is particularly important. Mobile work has digital and physical risks that must be reduced to a minimum. Above all, those who are used to working in commercial offices may not be aware of some safety risks. Make sure to join the following principles:

- Password
that a mobile phone, a laptop or tablet is used: complex password protect against unauthorized access. Make sure to use two factors authentication (2fa) . Most modern devices now also have biometric security blocks, such as fingerprint or facial recognition.

-Safe Internet connection
never use public wi-fi networks when accessing sensitive data. They are often insecure and allow hackers to easily access your data. For a safe transfer of data, we recommend that you use a VPN (Virtual Private Network) : this encryption your data connection so that all the data transferred (whether e-mail, browser chronology or data access) are invisible to other people, unable to read to read.

- Public conversations
make sure not to publicly discuss sensitive business information . Whether it's a team member sitting in front of you or a team member on the phone. You never know who he is listening!

- Protect from prying eyes
to avoid attracting attention to the person sitting behind or next to you, we advise you to use a privacy film . These are available for laptops, tablets and smartphones. Never open documents containing sensitive data in public places near you.

- Leccco
The laptop padlock blocks the device so that unauthorized people cannot open it . This means that you can quickly go to the bathroom on the train or in a bar without having to pack and bring all your things with you. Of course, a lock cannot guarantee 100% protection , but can reduce the risk of theft .

Find the right work position along the route

The second bigger challenge when working remotely is often the work environment: a noisy bar, a narrow railway carriage or a crowded airport can seriously compromise concentration. That's why it is important to find or create a suitable job for you.

If you want to work by train while you are traveling, we recommend the business car: it offers more space, and a folding table with power outbursts that allows you to work comfortably . It is also quieter and allows a better concentration than a group of hikers next to you. You can identify the business class from the computer symbol on the door . It is usually located in the front or rear of the first -class carriages.

Coworking space
The coworking spaces in Switzerland are countless and more and more: large open rooms where it is possible to rent workstations. The closed rooms are often used also for important meetings or teleconferences. You can register for one or more fixed days of the week, or volunteer spontaneously for a few hours or a day, wherever space is available . The best solution is to check their website first to see if the coworking space offers this option.

Headphones with noise cancellation
do you not want to buy the most expensive train tickets or have the opportunity to escape from the bustle that surrounds you? Then you also create the right working atmosphere: if you don't like classic ears caps, we recommend using headphones with noise cancellation. Even when you don't listen to music, they reduce environmental noise to a pleasant level.

Even on the move you can work efficiently

All you need is only a laptop, internet and electricity but, don't think it's all, even small things can make the difference:

- Charging cable and Power Bank
will not always have a power outlet. With a powerbank you will be flexible from a power outlet, at least for a while

- Cloud
hoping that it never happens, if the laptop should break or, worse still, your data was stolen will always be safe in the cloud. To recover them, just the username and password is enough and you can access it everywhere.

- Application of e -mail
are you often traveling? Most communications take place by e -mail but some letter still end up in your bucallettera. With Epost you can receive in electronic format, directly on your smartphone or laptop and you don't lose anything. Through this application you can manage your documents and find them quickly.
