Make sure you have everything you need to work from home:

Secure Zoom from unwanted or uninvited guests.
Use DocuSign to read and electronically sign a document that has been shared with you.
Set up call forwarding from your desk phone to another phone
IT Equipment for working effectively from home.

Keep your Operating System, Browser, and Applications patched to current releases
Use Antivirus software (keep it updated too) and enable the firewall on your computer
Avoid visiting unknown websites or downloading software from untrusted sources.
