What is Cyber Hygiene?
Key Cyber Hygiene Practices
- Use Strong Passwords: Create unique, complex passwords and store them securely in a password manager.

- 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.
