With millions of people now working from home because of Covid-19 a VPN (virtual private network) has never been more important. It masks your IP address and encrypts your data keeping you safe from hackers and ensuring connections between remote workers and their employers are locked down and secure.

The internet has brought enormous positive changes to businesses the world over but in its wake has followed the scourge of malware. Large enterprises can often ride out the damage caused by malware but for small businesses infections can cause untold damage and even take a business down.

As Covid-19 shuts down life across the world and millions of people have taken to home working small businesses can be particularly vulnerable to cyber-attacks.

Covid-19, and the subsequent lockdowns, has proven just how data-dependent we are. Millions of people are now working from home and if it wasn't for the internet and data, economies the world over would crash spectacularly.
