Passwords. Use 15 characters, Alpha-Numeric passwords with case distinction, and at least 1 special character. Always use strong, unique passwords for every account. Think of your password as your first line of defense against unauthorized access. It’s essential to use a combination of upper and lower-case letters, numbers, and symbols to make it harder to crack. Avoid using easily guessed information like your name or birthdate. A password manager can help you generate and store these passwords securely, ensuring you never have to compromise security for convenience. #Cybersecurity

Incident Response. Have a written Incident Response plan in place. Knowing what to do during a breach can minimize damage. An incident response plan is a set of procedures that your organization follows when a cybersecurity incident occurs. This plan outlines the steps for detecting, containing, and recovering from a breach, as well as how to communicate with stakeholders and authorities. Having a well-prepared and regularly updated incident response plan can significantly reduce the impact of a security breach, helping to protect your data, maintain customer trust, and avoid costly downtime. Regularly review and test your plan to ensure it’s effective and that everyone knows their role in the event of a breach. #BePrepared

Insurance. Obtain Cyber Security Insurance. For businesses, a separate cyber policy is warranted. For individuals and families look into ID Shield.
