3 Simple Actions
Welcome to our Cyber Security Information Hub!
We're thrilled to have you here, embarking on a journey to bolster your cyber resilience. Whether you're new to cybersecurity or a seasoned pro, our aim is to provide valuable insights and knowledge for everyone.
Our Information Hub is a treasure trove of tips and wisdom gathered from our network of experts and partners, and we're excited to share this with you.
Today, we'll kick things off with some fundamental actions that form the bedrock of strong cybersecurity practices.
Switch to Passphrases
We recommend replacing your traditional passwords with passphrases. A passphrase consists of four or more randomly chosen words strung together. The longer your passphrase, the more secure it becomes. Tools like LastPass or 1Password can assist in generating and securely storing these passphrases.
Secure Your Online Connections
Not all Wi-Fi networks are equally secure. While public and free Wi-Fi spots are convenient, they can also be risky. Cybercriminals can exploit unsecure connections to intercept your data. When using public Wi-Fi, be sure to disconnect when you're done.
Implement Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)
MFA is an excellent way to fortify your security. It requires an additional verification step before granting access to your data or accounts. Even if someone gains access to your password, they'll need a second form of verification. MFA methods can include:
Authenticator Apps
One-time PIN via SMS
Fingerprint recognition
Physical tokens
These foundational steps in cybersecurity will help you protect your online presence and data. Stay tuned as we continue to share more insights, resources, and courses to further enhance your cyber knowledge. Regular backups ensure that even if your systems are compromised, your essential information is safe and sound.
