Use a Password Manager
Change All Passwords To Secure Ones
Use Multi-Factor Authentication Everywhere
A password manager, such as "1Password," is an easy and secure way to store and create strong passwords.
Strong passwords are less likely to be compromised.
Multi-Factor Authenication is like a second, uncrackable, password that only you have access to.
Disable UPnP
Review Open Ports
Use IPS/IDS Systems
Use Network Segmentation
UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) is like unknowingly leaving parts of your house open to the public.
Opening ports on your router is like giving a house tour to anyone who visits.
IPS/IDS systems are like a bouncer at a bar.
Network segmentation is like using a keycard to access different floors in an elevator.
Use Full-Drive Encryption
Enable Automatic Updates
Change Any Default Logins
Replace Any "End Of Life" Software or Devices
Full Drive Encryption protects your sensitive data if your device is stolen or lost.
Never updating software is like never changing your oil.
Default logins are like giving a stranger your keys and address while saying "Go crazy."
An "End Of Life" product never recieves updates and is no longer supported by the manufacturer.
Verify Links Are Correct
Verify Who You're Talking To
Never Put Personal Information Online
Never Download From Unknown Sources
