1. Use Strong, Unique Passwords 🔐
Always create complex passwords with a mix of letters, numbers, and symbols. Avoid reusing passwords across accounts.
2. Enable Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) 📱
Add an extra layer of security by requiring a second verification method (e.g., SMS, authenticator app).
3. Keep Software Updated 🔄
Regularly update systems, applications, and plugins to patch vulnerabilities.
4. Encrypt Sensitive Data 🔒
Use encryption for data at rest (e.g., databases) and in transit (e.g., HTTPS).
5. Monitor Access Logs 📊
Track login attempts and user activity to detect suspicious behavior.
6. Limit User Permissions 🛑
Follow the principle of least privilege—grant users only the access they need.
7. Backup Critical Systems 🗂️
Perform regular backups and store them securely offsite.
8. Secure Network Infrastructure 🧰
Implement firewalls, VLANs, and intrusion detection systems to protect your network.
9. Educate Users 📚
Train employees and users on phishing awareness, social engineering, and safe online habits.
10. Regular Security Audits 🧭
Conduct periodic vulnerability scans and penetration testing to identify weaknesses.
