CYBERSECURITY

Security starts with
strong fundamentals.

Cybersecurity is the practice of protecting systems, networks, accounts, and information from misuse, disruption, and unauthorized access.

Start with the basics

  • Use unique passwords and a password manager.
  • Enable multifactor authentication.
  • Keep operating systems and apps updated.
  • Back up important files and test recovery.
  • Learn networking, DNS, HTTP/HTTPS, and permissions.

Practice responsibly

  • Use your own devices, local labs, or intentionally vulnerable training environments.
  • Get written permission before testing any system.
  • Never access, change, or disclose another person's data without authorization.
  • Report security issues through the organization's official process.
