Be Skeptical of Unsolicited Calls.
If someone calls claiming to be from IT, tech support, or a bank and asks for sensitive information, treat it with suspicion. Legitimate organizations rarely ask for credentials or account details over the phone.
Use a Secure Wi-Fi Network.
Always use a strong, password-protected Wi-Fi connection to prevent unauthorized access. Avoid using public or unsecured networks when handling sensitive work data.
Think of Your Password Like a Toothbrush.
Don’t share it and replace it regularly—just like you wouldn’t use a toothbrush forever or lend it to a friend! A fresh password keeps hackers from getting too comfortable.
Utilize full disk encryption on your computer’s hard drive.
It can help prevent attackers from recovering data from stolen devices. If your device is stolen, this prevents anyone from recovering your sensitive files.
