5. Use A VPN If Needed
A Virtual Private Network is a tool that keeps your IP address anonymous from everyone whether it be hackers, government, ISP, or any other outside body.
Everything starts from an IP address. If a skilled hacker gets hold of your original IP address, then it can even get in to your system. A VPN, therefore replaces your original IP address with their VPN-server IP.
The ones I recommend my readers are the VPN services that have strong encryption, having a Kill-Switch feature, and are also affordable.
6. Always Create a Back Up
Nowadays, storage comes cheap and easy. You must have a back up of your important data, so there's no excuse for that.
It is not always the end goal of a hacker to get hold of your data, but sometimes they just want to erase it. Therefore, you don't have to give them a chance, so back up your data immediately.
7. Set Strong Passwords
It's not every time that a hacker will try to attack from the system you're always working in. In fact, it can first hack your phone and then find a mutual thing that is available on both devices just like your email and social-media accounts, and then hack your computer and every device associated with it.
That is why, you should always use strong passwords and bio-metric features to open your device. Never connect to a public Wi-Fi as it is so much easier for a hacker to get in to your phone or system using a public Wi-Fi.
Key Takeaways
There are plenty more tips where that came from, but always remember that you're not alone. In these troubled times where there is a pandemic going that has limited the movement of people from travelling around the world and working from home, it has also increased the chances of cyber-security breach.
All I am saying is, keep yourself and your device protected at all times. The list of tips that I have mentioned above will help you manage 95% of the cyber security problems that you can face.
