Creating a Personal Cybersecurity Plan

To stay protected, follow these steps: 1. Secure your devices by regularly updating them, using antivirus/antimalware protection, and enabling device encryption. 2. Strengthen your authentication by using strong, unique passwords and enabling Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA). Consider using a password manager. 3. Protect your network by changing router passwords, using WPA3 or WPA2 encryption, and using a firewall. 4. Defend against phishing and social engineering by paused clicking, verifying sender addresses, and reducing personal details on social media. 5. Regularly back up your data using the 3-2-1 rule or automated cloud backups. Limit access and permissions by using least-privilege access, segmenting your network, and monitoring activivity.
