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.
