Here are some top rules for computer security:
Use strong passwords: Avoid using easy-to-remember passwords, and don’t use the same password for multiple accounts.
Keep your software up to date: Updates often fix security flaws and other issues.
Use antivirus software: Antivirus software can protect your device from malware like viruses, spyware, and ransomware.
Use two-factor authentication (2FA): 2FA requires you to enter a code from a separate device in addition to your password.
Back up your data: Backups can help you avoid data loss and financial loss in the event of a cyber attack.
Use a firewall: A firewall monitors network traffic and blocks unsafe connections. A managed firewall with an active subscription is optimal.
Avoid public Wi-Fi: Public Wi-Fi can be unsafe, especially for conducting business.
Don’t open attachments from untrusted sources: Don’t click on links or open attachments from sources you don’t trust.
Don’t leave your device unattended: Never leave your device unattended.
Be familiar with your organization’s acceptable use policy: Make sure you’re aware of your organization’s acceptable use policy.
Backup your system: this would be a restorable image of your entire computer. Its operating system, programs, user profile, settings, printers, etc… This would have to be coupled with a more current backup of the computer’s data to be fully effective.
