New Year’s resolutions may have already been forgotten, but here’s one worth sticking to: taking better care of your digital security. Just like we lock our doors to protect our homes, securing our digital profiles is just as important. February 1st marks Change Your Password Day, a perfect reminder to strengthen your online security. Weak passwords remain a top cause of data breaches, and regular updates are key to protecting both your personal and professional information.
We recommend using passwords with at least 12 characters, incorporating a mix of uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols. Enabling multi-factor authentication (“MFA”) and utilizing a password manager can provide additional layers of protection. These straightforward actions are key to fortifying your security and preventing potential breaches down the line.
While updating passwords is an essential step, ongoing security practices can provide further peace of mind. If you’re looking for guidance on strengthening your security, Crimson IT is here to help. Let’s work together to ensure your business is well-protected.
