In a digital world, where so much of our personal and professional lives are online, safeguarding confidential information is a real need. A strong password can act as the first line of defense against hackers trying to access our data, so avoid using weak or repeated passwords across multiple accounts.

Avoid writing passwords down in notebooks or storing them in unsecured places like computer notepads, as these practices can increase the risk of exposure. It's time to stop using your pet's name as a password and improve it by using a combination of numbers, symbols, and upper- and lower-case letters.

Yes, we understand that managing multiple passwords can be challenging, but password managers simplify this task. Password managers are secure applications that store all your passwords in a single “vault,” protected by a strong master password or biometric authentication, like a fingerprint or facial recognition.

Businesses can also benefit from password managers, which save time and reduce risk by securely managing and organizing access to confidential records.

Remember that discarded devices can contain valuable information that, if accessed by the wrong hands, could have serious consequences for your business.
