How to Practice Internet Security: Cyber Security Tips!

Cyber Security, Adding Strong Measures To Protect Digital Life

Cyber Security is the most important thing in todays digital world. As hackers and cybercriminals are always discovering new ways to play with vulnerabilities, safeguarding your online privacy becomes a priority. Using everything from browsing the web, and social media, to shopping online, adopting good cyber security habits can help protect your personal information from threats such as identity fraud, phishing attacks and data breaches.

Step 1: Use strong and unique passwords

All your accounts must have a strong password that is unique to each one, as a simple but very important cyber security tip. Don’t use simple passwords, such as “123456” or “password.” Instead, use strong passwords with a combination of letters, numbers and symbols. Then consider a password manager to store and generate unique passwords for every account securely.

Limitations on the number of cycles before a forceful unlocking is done

Two-factor authentication (2FA) provides additional cyber security when you log in to your accounts by requesting a second form of verification like a code sent to your phone or your email. And even if a hacker gets your password, he or she won’t be able to log on without the second authentication factor.

Be Cautious of Phishing Scams

Phishing attacks lure users into entering sensitive information by masquerading as legitimate organizations. Always check the authenticity of emails, links, and attachments before clicking. If an email requests personal information or login credentials, verify the email address of the sender and reach out to the company directly to confirm that the request is authentic.

Use Secure Wi-Fi Connections

Do not connect to unsecured public Wi-Fi networks. Your data can be intercepted by hackers on unsecured networks. To fortify cyber security, employ a Virtual Private Network (VPN) to encrypt your internet connection, shielding your data from curious observers.

Update software and devices

Keeping your operating system, antivirus, and applications up to date protects you from newer threats. Cybercriminals take advantage of outdated software to access your devices. Issue 1: Get the Latest Cyber Security Patches

Enable Privacy Settings on Social Media

Cybercriminals often collect personal details from social media. Share as few details about yourself as possible in public and set privacy settings to limit who can view your posts and information on your profiles.
