Keeping Your Data Safe

PERSONAL DATA SECURITY ON ALL
DEVICES

You should follow all of the guidelines and best practices
outlined in this book when it comes to securing your
online information. A common misconception is that data
protection regulations exist solely for high-tech firms and
large organizations tasked with managing hundreds of
thousands of clients’ personal data. The primary targets
of most threat actors are not major corporations or
government entities. Criminals look for people who don’t
bother to take the necessary precautions when it comes
to securing sensitive information. If you’re completely
new to cybersecurity and the actions requested for
protecting your personal information, it’s time to start
from the beginning. The following tips can assist you in
safeguarding your personal information.

REMEMBER THAT YOU ARE A TARGET FOR

HACKERS

Regardless of how small your bank account or client list
is, there is always someone interested in the information
you have to offer. The attackers do not have to breach
every system that they target. They simply have to go
to the ones that are the most accessible. This strategy
can be used to break into critical systems and steal a
person’s identity. Instead of making your network more
accessible, you should focus on tightening security to
deter intruders.
