security guidelines

These guidelines represent foundational principles in cybersecurity and should be followed diligently to minimize risks and protect against potential threats. By understanding and implementing these practices, individuals and businesses can create a more secure digital environment.

Use a combination of uppercase, lowercase, numbers, and special characters to create a robust password. Avoid using easily guessable information like your name or birthdate. Also, do not reuse the same password on any other account.

Example: Instead of using "johnsmith," use a password like J0hN$@m!th42.

Example: Do not use password J0hN$@m!th42 for both FaceBook and Gmail

Keeping software updated helps in fixing known vulnerabilities that hackers can exploit. Enable automatic updates when possible or regularly check for updates from reputable sources. Pirated version or cracked version of software will not have update features. Please avoid using pirated version of software or Operating Systems on your devices.

Use Case: A business was attacked using a vulnerability in their old operating system. Updating to the latest version would have patched the vulnerability and prevented the attack.

Educate your team about recognizing suspicious emails and websites. Always verify URLs and never click on links or download attachments from unknown sources.

Example:

In a phishing scam, an employee received an email pretending to be from the company's bank. By not clicking the link and instead logging in through the bank's official site, the scam was avoided.

Avoid accessing sensitive information on public Wi-Fi. If necessary, use a Virtual Private Network (VPN) to encrypt your connection.

Use Case:

A traveler accessed confidential company files through public Wi-Fi without a VPN and was hacked. In a future scenario, using a VPN, the connection was encrypted, and the data remained secure.

Change default passwords, keep firmware updated, and use network segmentation to isolate IoT devices from critical business or personal data.

Example:

A smart thermostat was hacked due to a default password, compromising a home's security. By changing the password and segregating the device on a different network, the homeowner prevented future breaches.

I used to click on everything — pop-ups, random emails, you name it.
If it blinked, I clicked it. After taking the cyber security course with
Ashtaksha Labs, I’m officially click-proof! The training was simple,
engaging, and even kind of fun. Now my coworkers call me the
‘human firewall,’ and honestly? I wear that title with pride. Huge
thanks to Ashtaksha Labs for turning me to its strongest defender
