Security Made in Luxembourg has announced five measures that will help with protecting and securing our computers and digital devices in 2017.
It may be a new year, but the same cyber-threats are present as always. Such threats include password hacking, Ransomwares, increasing attacks using mobile interfaces to gain entry, the boom of the internet of things which tend to pass under CSO radars, and finally the delay between an attack and its discovery, which is not likely to decrease.
To help protect ourselves from such threats, Security Made in Luxembourg has recommended the following steps to take in the new year:
1. Create a strong and unique password comprised of at least 12 characters, including numbers and special characters. There should also be two-factor authentication activated when possible for added security.
2. Prevent Ransomewares by backing up regularly.
3. Prevent mobile malwares on smartphones and tablets by only connecting to trusted networks or using particular professional applications.
4. Use extra security measures for the internet of things, which can be attacked by undetected malwares.
5. Be aware of cyber-attacks and cyber-attack attempts and share any you may find with others rather than ignoring them, so as to best face this type of threat.
Finally, do not forget that personal data is exactly that: personal. As such, new European regulation is introducing the “privacy by design” initiative, to come into effect on 25 May 2018, to better protect personal information.
