"Clean Desk" 2.0: Securing Your Home Office from Physical Data Leaks

In the traditional office, a “Clean Desk” policy was a simple habit: shred the sensitive stuff, lock it away, and don’t leave passwords where someone can see them.

In 2026, the same idea still matters but the “desk” has changed.
