Simple Steps That Stop Most Cyberattacks
Passwords & Identity Protection
- Use strong, unique passwords for every account.
- Enable multi‑factor authentication (MFA) wherever possible.
- Use a reputable password manager instead of reusing or writing down passwords.
- Be wary of password reset links; go directly to the site when in doubt.
Devices, Software, and Networks
- Keep operating systems, apps, and firmware up to date and patched.
- Install and maintain anti‑virus/anti‑malware software and run regular scans.
- Properly use and configure firewalls on routers and endpoints.
- Secure your Wi‑Fi with strong encryption and a unique password; change default router credentials.
- Avoid using public Wi‑Fi for sensitive transactions; use a VPN if you must connect.
Online Behavior & Payment Safety
- Slow down before clicking unexpected emails, texts, or links.
- Verify website URLs before entering passwords or payment information (check URLs, look for HTTPS, watch for look‑alike domains).
- Use secure payment methods and avoid storing card details on random websites.
- Watch out for tech‑support scams, fake shipping notifications, and “too good to be true” offers.
Access Control & Data Protection (Business‑Oriented)
- Limit access to sensitive systems and data using role‑based access control (RBAC).
- Use least‑privilege and regularly review accounts, especially admins and service accounts.
- Encrypt sensitive data at rest and in transit.
- Implement regular, tested backups stored offline or in a separate environment.
