dc.description.abstractPurposeThe purpose of this paper is to investigate the cyber hygiene practices of remote workers.Design/methodology/approachThis paper used two instruments: first, the Cyber Hygiene Inventory scale, which measures users' information and computer security behaviors; second, the Recsem Inventory, developed within this paper's context, to evaluate the cybersecurity measures adopted by organizations for remote workers. It was conducted on remote workers to examine their information security practices. The instrument was administered to a sample of 442 employees reached via the LinkedIn platform. Analyses were performed with SPSS v26, Python programming language and Seaborn library.FindingsThe findings indicate a significant correlation between the security measures implemented by companies and their employees' cyber hygiene practices. A sector comparison revealed a significant difference in cyber hygiene levels between public and private sector workers.Research limitations/implicationsThis paper aims to provide policymakers with suggestions for enhancing the cyber hygiene of remote workers to facilitate compliance with corporate security protocols.Originality/valueThis paper's conclusions highlight the importance of companies increasing their cybersecurity investments as remote work becomes more prevalent. This should consider not only corporate-level factors but also employees' information and computer security behaviors.en_US
