Security Hygiene

Security Hygiene

Simple habits that reduce risk across your accounts, devices, and everyday online activity.

Core habits

Keep your baseline strong

Update quickly

Software updates close security holes before attackers can use them.

Back up important data

Backups are what keep a bad day from becoming a disaster.

Watch for phishing

Pause before clicking links, opening files, or sharing codes.

Keep devices locked

Use a strong passcode, screen lock, or biometric unlock.

Make the basics routine

The best security habits are the ones you actually keep. Focus on update prompts, backup checks, and a quick review of anything that looks unusual in your inbox or notifications.
