IT Security Tip #42: Do you allow guests to access your WiFi network?

Do you have guest access on your company WiFi network? Or do you simply give out the same password that your employees use? If you give out your password, you’re practically opening the door for anyone to come in and steal private information, infect your private computers and even steal customer credit card data if you are processing them over the same Internet connection.

The key to providing free guest WiFi access is in segregation and security. Your WiFi guests need to be completely isolated and segregated from your private network. Your guests should not be able to reach your internal computer network, credit card terminals or other network-connected devices.

Don’t know how to enable guest WiFi access? Give us a call and we’ll help you out.

Use channels and teams in Microsoft Teams

You can create teams (groups of people) and channels (like topic-specific chat rooms) to organize conversations in Microsoft Teams. Create a team or channel to have a conversation among your department, discuss a project, or just to share fun memes and GIFs.

See how teams and channels work in Teams

Check out this training video to learn more about the differences between teams and channels and how to set each one up.
