what is the main purpose of this memo?
to tell remote employees that they no longer need to use a vpn while working
to recommend that remote employees change their passwords daily
to make remote employees aware of a new computer virus threat
to inform remote employees about how to keep their computers secure

Explanation:

• The first option is incorrect as the memo advises using a VPN, not stopping its use.
• The second option is wrong because the memo says to change passwords regularly, not daily.
• The third option is incorrect as the memo focuses on procedures to reduce vulnerabilities, not on a new virus threat.
• The fourth option is correct because the memo lists procedures (separate devices, strong passwords, VPN, antivirus updates) to help remote employees keep their computers secure.

Answer:

to inform remote employees about how to keep their computers secure
