TRAINING & AWARENESS
The first step to being cyber-safe is being aware.
Aware of emerging threats and criminals’ new tactics.
Cybersecurity awareness is a must-know for everyone, irrespective of your area of expertise.
SOFTWARE UPDATES
Your strong password will be of no use if you don’t regularly update your apps.
When there is a new update in an app, it means either the design was changed, or a vulnerabilitywas found.
Using an app with vulnerability is as simple as opening the door for a thief to rob you.
MULTI-FACTOR AUTHENTICATION
Multi-factor authentication means two or more means to verify that you are who you are.
Multi-factor authentication, or MFA as we call it, is needed to protect your data.
If a criminal gets your password and you have MFA switched on that app, they won’t be able to log in, as the second means of verification is needed.
PASSWORD MANAGER
The reason why many people put in the same password or use simple passwords is because they don’t want to forget it.
A password manager suggests solid and unique passwords for you. It also stores all your passwords.
With a password manager, you only have to memorise the master key to open it.
SHUT YOUR MOUTH
The greatest cyber tip for 2024 is to keep your mouth shut.
Keep your mouth shut about your PIN, password, income, location and more (all relative).
Believe me, they don’t need to know how good you are getting it in life.
