Find out where you stand and see what your cybersecurity rating is.
It's always best to enable multi-factor authentication (MFA) not only for your work account but also for other work-related third-party accounts and test accounts. MFA adds extra layers of security to every online platform you access. Using a verification code from a trusted source makes it harder for cybercriminals to attack your system.
Implement data loss prevention solutions, such as blocking sensitive data exfiltration to unauthorized cloud services or portable media, and restrict and monitor all data transfers and uploads.
Never use public Wi-Fi without using a virtual private network (VPN). VPNs help encrypt the traffic between your device and the VPN server, making it difficult for a cybercriminal to access your data. If you don't have a VPN, use your mobile hotspot.
For browser security, make sure you block access to unauthorized websites and restrict downloads to authorized websites only. Remove harmful browser extensions to avoid the chance of data exfiltration. This is critical since clicking links on suspicious websites can lead to phishing attacks or spread malware.
In this world of digital media, be wary of what you reveal, even on your personal accounts. Personally identifiable information can help a cybercriminal identify or locate an individual. Always review your privacy settings across all your social media accounts.
Always use standard crypto algorithms for encryption. Since cryptography is complex, don't invent your own algorithms; they'll be prone to errors, leading to security vulnerabilities.
