Telework

In teleworking the devices and means of connectivity are not in the infrastructure of the Iscte and for this reason the attention must be redoubled.

Before moving the workstation home, the employee must obtain the appropriate authorisation from the service manager.

The latter must forward the request to SIIC by filling in the form available here.

Employees who do not have administration privileges on their workstation (desktop or laptop), should request VPN configuration before moving the equipment home.

If the workstation is a desktop computer, they should request a network cable for internet access at home, since Iscte desktops do not have a wireless card.

Requests for telephone call forwarding should be made by the service manager through iAjuda.

Check the Iscte VoIP softphone configuration manuals here.

In teleworking all recommendations for the use of computer media in face-to-face work are also applicable.

Below is a summary of the main recommendations

Devices

  • It is necessary to ensure exclusivity of use. If there is no such possibility, different usage profiles must be ensured.
  • Antivirus and programs update in general.
  • Automatic session lock.
  • Do not frequent pirated and derivative streaming sites.
  • Use different passwords for personal and work accounts.

Networks and Connectivity

  • Use home network connectivity. Avoid using public space connectivity.
  • Do not use commercial VPN services to connect to Organization resources (e.g. Nordvpn).
