What is Cyber Hygiene?

Cyber Hygiene is the practice of following good security habits to protect data, devices, and accounts from cyber threats like hacking, phishing, and malware. Just like personal hygiene prevents illness, cyber hygiene helps keep systems safe and reduce security risks.

Key Cyber Hygiene Practices

Use Strong Passwords: Create unique, complex passwords and store them securely in a password manager.
Enable Multi-factor Authentication (MFA): Add an extra layer of protection by requiring a second form of verification.
Keep Software Updated: Regularly update operating systems, apps, and security software to fix vulnerabilities.
Avoid Phishing Scams: Do not click on suspicious emails, links, or attachments from unknown sources.
Use a Secure Internet Connection: Protect data with a firewall, VPN, and encrypted networks.
Back Up Important Data: Regularly save encrypted backups to prevent data loss.
Limit Access to Sensitive Information: Follow Zero Trust principles by only granting access to those who are authorized.
