IT advice on working from home
To ensure business continuity, your home router will
not be blocked as per the IT Security Department’s standard procedure when your home personal computer gets infected by a virus. To alleviate this, we recommend installing our
free antivirus software on all your personal computers. Lean more about how to avoid cyberattacks while working from home

Staying informed
Once again, we’d like to thank you for your cooperation and ongoing adherence to directives. These have been designed to keep you safe and to help manage the crisis.
