Top 10 Cyber Security Tips

  • Use Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) with all email/cloud/web accounts

  • Use a Password Manager (with strong passwords, no password reuse)

  • Use a Virtual Private Network (VPN), make sure the VPN vendor is based in a friendly country!

  • Make sure all devices/computers are fully patched (operating system/software/apps are always updated)

  • Reboot your mobile device(s) every morning

  • Use a microphone/camera blocker on all devices/computers when not in use

  • Don’t post addresses, phone numbers, or email account information on social media

  • When traveling, don’t use airport/plane/hotel Wi-Fi networks unless absolutely necessary (and use a VPN if you do!)

  • At home, don’t use the Wi-Fi network provided by your ISP modem (use a separate Wi-Fi router)

  • Keep home IoT (smart speakers, TVs, etc) on a separate Wi-Fi network from devices/computers
