Security & Privacy Model for Work from Home Paradigm

The outbreak of novel corona-virus pandemic has caused the entire world to initiate a total lockdown and thus, affecting the businesses and other economic activities thus, as a work around several organizations are now capitalizing the work from home paradigm that allows them to continue with their economic activities with certain limitations. However, such a widespread use of the above mentioned paradigm has risked the privacy and security of the underlying computer resources even more. Work from home (WFH) is indeed the need of the hour but is full of loopholes which can be exploited further by those having malicious intentions and when a huge population of the world is following such a paradigm then the threat becomes even more serious. The underlying project aims propose a cyber security model for the work from home paradigm to make it relatively secure. Just like the Biba and Bell-LaPadula models which have been used as a basis for many security practices in general, this project proposes a similar model but specifically meant for the WFH practice as following this paradigm doesn't generally involve a lot of people as compared to the traditional on-site working but the risk surprisingly is more as individuals tend to avoid security practices whilst following `at home' ideology. The model suggests various practices and steps to be taken in order to ensure the confidentiality, integrity and availability of the data with a focus on cyber hygiene.
