The rapid development of the internet and digital technologies has significantly transformed modern lifestyles and work organization. Remote work, which intensified especially during the COVID-19 pandemic, has become a sustainable practice for many public and private institutions. This work model offers substantial economic and organizational benefits for both employers and employees, including reduced operational costs, greater flexibility, and improved work-life balance. However, moving work environments outside traditional infrastructures has considerably increased exposure to cybersecurity threats. The use of unsecured networks, personal devices, and the lack of well-defined security policies represent critical risk factors for information technology (IT) systems. This paper analyzes the main cybersecurity challenges associated with remote employment and examines appropriate measures and best practices for protecting data and IT systems. The study aims to raise awareness and contribute to the improvement of cybersecurity management strategies in remote work environments.
