Always enable multi-factor authentication (MFA) on your accounts, even those you think aren’t important. MFA adds an extra layer of security by requiring something you know (like a password) and something you have (like a code or app). Even if someone steals your password, they won’t be able to log in without that second factor. Don’t skip it — even “small” accounts can be targets.

Think of your login credentials as the keys to your digital workspace—personal, confidential, and not to be shared. Even if you trust a colleague, sharing your username or password can lead to unintended access, data loss, or security breaches that put both you and the organization at risk. To maintain a secure environment, always keep your credentials private and never share them with anyone.

Always treat unexpected messages or requests with suspicion. Assume they could be fraudulent until you've verified the source through a trusted method. Never click on links or share personal information unless you're absolutely sure it's legitimate. Staying cautious helps protect your data and identity.

Even if you're stepping away for just a moment, always lock your device to prevent others from accessing personal or sensitive information. It only takes a few seconds for someone to view, change, or misuse your work or personal data. Locking your device is a simple habit that protects your privacy and helps keep information secure.

Be cautious of shoulder surfing — someone nearby could be watching your screen without you realizing it. Avoid viewing sensitive information in public or crowded places. Use a privacy screen and adjust your device angle to limit visibility. Always stay aware of who’s around you when working with confidential data.

Always use strong, unique passwords for each of your accounts to protect your personal information from hackers. Avoid using common, short, or easy-to-guess passwords, and never reuse the same one across multiple sites. To stay even more secure, regularly update your passwords and use two-factor authentication whenever possible.

Cybersecurity demands careful attention. Hackers often create a false sense of urgency to pressure you into acting quickly without thinking. Instead, take a moment to verify requests or actions before responding. Staying calm and double-checking can help you avoid costly mistakes. When in doubt, pause and protect—it's always better to be safe than sorry.

Be cautious of emails containing links or attachments, especially if they are unsolicited—even if they appear to come from a legitimate or known sender. Compromised accounts or spoofed email addresses can be used to carry out phishing attacks. Always verify the source before clicking anything, and never input your credentials on suspicious or unfamiliar websites.
