<\/p>\n

Nowadays, Macs are part of the work-from-home workforce during the COVID-19 pandemic. If you\u2019ve brought a Mac from the office to home, it\u2019s likely your IT department has already set it up to meet your company\u2019s security policies. But what if you\u2019re enlisting a Mac already at home to do duty for your company? You need to outfit it for business, to protect it and your company from infections and snooping, while ensuring it continues to run smoothly over time.<\/p>\n

Here are 21 tips for staying secure, private, and productive while working from home on your Mac\u2014while also making sure your personal \u201chelpdesk\u201d is in place, should you run into problems while doing your work.<\/p>\n

How to guard against viruses and cyber threats on your Mac<\/h2>\n

While good security habits are important for all Mac users (since, contrary to popular opinion, Macs are as vulnerable to malicious attacks as PCs), you need to take special care when working from home on your Mac because you\u2019ll be interacting with your company\u2019s applications and platforms over the internet. Start your \u201csecurity upgrade\u201d with the Mac itself, to keep it free of viruses and malware. Make sure your security checklist includes the following:<\/p>\n

Secure Your Mac.<\/strong> Ensure your Mac is in a secure, safe place, where family members can\u2019t shoulder surf or use it, then set up a work account on your Mac (separate from your personal account), complete with a unique, complex password (disable automatic login), with only work-approved apps active on the account. Set the Mac to automatically lock one minute after sleep or your screen saver begins. Then turn on the Mac\u2019s Firewall (if it\u2019s not already on) and enable Stealth Mode, which will block incoming network requests from test applications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
<\/td>\n\n
\n
    \n
  1. Keep Up to Date.<\/strong> Keep your Mac OS system, Web browser, and main work apps (e.g., Microsoft Office) up to date. Application updates often contain security improvements as well as bug fixes.<\/li>\n
  2. Be Communication-Cautious.<\/strong> Use your messaging and email apps only for work, so as not to contaminate them with unexpected communications from friends, family, or strangers. Be particularly aware of phishing emails with potentially bad links and attachments, or with buttons to \u201chelp you log into\u201d online accounts to allegedly adjust or renew some crucial account data. Credential data theft can be a doorway not only to the data on your Mac, but to your company\u2019s online systems.<\/li>\n
  3. Install Antivirus.<\/strong> Install endpoint security software on your Mac, if you don\u2019t already have it. The solution should protect you from Web threats and when downloading files, and in the event something malicious lands on your disk, its scanning technology will help you remove the infection. The best endpoint protection will protect you and your files proactively from ransomware as well.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

How to guard your privacy on Mac<\/h2>\n

Next, you need to make sure your work remains private. This means creating a \u201cchain of privacy\u201d that extends from your Mac over the internet to your company\u2019s servers, so that each link in the chain is \u201clocked\u201d to ensure your company data remains private.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
<\/td>\n\n
\n
    \n
  1. Harden Your Mac<\/strong>. Enable FileVault (which encrypts your data), making sure you secure<\/em> but remember<\/em> your login password or recovery key; otherwise your data will become inaccessible. This ensures that if your Mac is stolen, the thief won\u2019t have access to your company\u2019s data.<\/li>\n
  2. Protect Your Router.<\/strong> Most routers come with default settings (Admin and Password), which can make your router vulnerable to hacker attacks. Change the default Admin and Password on the router to strong, unique alphanumeric strings.<\/li>\n
  3. Encrypt Your Network.<\/strong> Use an Ethernet connection from your Mac to the router; or if you must, a WPA-2 encrypted Wi-Fi connection with unique password access. And consider moving your family and their devices to the guest network, if your router supports the same WPA-2 protection for guests.<\/li>\n
  4. Deploy Network Security.<\/strong> Deploy a network security solution, to protect all the smart devices in your home network, since a breach on any device (e.g., your smart speaker, your security camera) could affect the privacy of all your devices, including your work Mac. The network security solution should enable you to block incoming connections from remote-access software and to manage your family\u2019s devices.<\/li>\n
  5. Use a VPN.<\/strong> This ensures a secure and private tunnel between the Mac on your home network and your company\u2019s servers, encrypting your data from the moment it\u2019s transmitted.<\/li>\n
  6. Use Strong Authentication.<\/strong> Use strong authentication whenever possible, both locally on your Mac and for online account logins. This can include Single-Sign On (SSO) solutions, PINs, Facial Recognition and Multi-factor Authentication (MFA) tools.<\/li>\n
  7. Use Secure Video Conferencing.<\/strong> For team conference calls\/video meetings, make sure your chosen solution has end-to-end encryption and proper access controls. Consider using headphones to better privatize your teammates\u2019 conversation.<\/li>\n
  8. Use a Password Manager.<\/strong> This ensures the privacy of all your company login credentials, since you don\u2019t want to store them in your browser, where they can be hacked.<\/li>\n
  9. Use Cloud Sync; Encrypt and Detach Local Backups.<\/strong> You\u2019re probably accustomed to using iCloud for cloud sync\/backup, but if you\u2019re already using Microsoft Office, consider using OneDrive for Business, since it\u2019s integrated with Office. And don\u2019t use a USB memory stick for backup. Instead, when you\u2019re doing your weekly local backup via Time Machine, use a hard drive that can be disconnected and locked when your backup is finished.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Tips and tricks to maximize your Mac<\/h2>\n

Working from home means contending with home distractions (though working in the office has its own set of distractions too). Staying productive therefore includes setting good work and break habits, physically optimizing your work-from-home Mac setup, and keeping your Mac in good working order. Effective and productive remote working<\/a>, when it comes setting up good work habits, using efficiency maximizing tools, and separating work from home activities, is a whole topic in itself. Here we include only those tips that directly affect the healthy operation and optimization of your Mac:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
<\/td>\n\n
\n
    \n
  1. Deploy a Second Display.<\/strong> Hook up a large or second monitor to your Mac, for increased workspace. New MacBook users on Catalina MacOS can also attach an iPad with iOS 13 via Sidecar for use as a second monitor.<\/li>\n
  2. Hook Up iPhone Calling to Your Mac.<\/strong> For efficiency\u2019s sake, when your iPhone and Mac are on the same Wi-Fi network, you can make phone calls with your Mac by tying it to your iPhone and its cellular plan. The microphone and speakers of your Mac will be enlisted in the call. Ensure your Mac\u2019s Contacts app includes your business contact cards and for easy Mac-assisted calling to your associates.<\/li>\n
  3. Use Dictation.<\/strong> Now\u2019s the chance for you to use the built-in dictation tools on your Mac (and iOS) to speed up writing letters, emails, memos, etc.<\/li>\n
  4. Use Web Apps.<\/strong> Use the Web version of your office apps when possible; e.g., Microsoft Office 365, which includes Web Outlook, Word, Calendar, People, Sharepoint, Planner, Notes, OneDrive, etc. for efficient collaboration, reverting to the installed desktop apps when necessary. This can reduce the data footprint on your Mac.<\/li>\n
  5. Periodically Optimize Your Mac.<\/strong> Every computer slows down over time, especially when doing heavy-duty work, due to system and application clutter, as well as duplication of files. Your home Mac may also be a bit short on memory and CPU power, so periodic use of Mac optimization tools, Apple\u2019s or a third-party\u2019s, can help ensure your Mac stays up to speed for maximum productivity.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

How to get remote computer assistance for your Mac<\/h2>\n

Finally, should things go wrong at any time with your working Mac setup, you need to make sure to have a work-from-home \u201cHelp Desk\u201d in place for when you need it. This can include the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
<\/td>\n\n
\n
    \n
  1. Enlist your IT Department.<\/strong> Easy connection and a contact to your IT Department for device, network, and app requirements, as well as tech support for problems that may arise during your workday, is critical.<\/li>\n
  2. Utilize Vendor Helpdesks<\/strong>. Use the community forums and chat services of your Mac, network, and app vendors. Apple provides its own Mac Support<\/a>, along with Mac Service and Repair<\/a> for Macs under warranty or for customers with AppleCare+.<\/li>\n
  3. Purchase Support Services.<\/strong> Optional support services you for purchase can help ensure the top-notch security and operation of your Mac, your network, and your workflow.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
