Practices of Cyberprotection

April 27, 2023 admin

Cyberprotection, also known as cybersecurity, refers to the practice of protecting computer systems, networks, and sensitive information from unauthorized access, theft, damage, or other malicious attacks. Here are some practices that can enhance cyberprotection.

Use strong and unique passwords: Passwords should be complex and unique to prevent unauthorized access. Consider using a password manager to generate and store strong passwords.

Keep software up to date: Make sure to regularly update operating systems, software, and applications to patch any security vulnerabilities.
Use anti-virus software: Install anti-virus software and keep it up to date to protect against viruses and malware.
Be cautious with emails: Avoid opening suspicious emails and attachments, as they may contain malware or phishing attempts.
Use secure networks: Use secure networks, such as a VPN, to access sensitive information over public Wi-Fi.
Practice safe browsing habits: Be cautious when clicking on links or visiting unfamiliar websites, as they may contain malware.

Enable two-factor authentication: Enable two-factor authentication whenever possible to add an extra layer of protection to your accounts.
Regularly backup data: Backup important data regularly to prevent data loss due to cyber attacks.
Train youth: Train youth on safe computing practices to prevent cyber attacks and mitigate their impact.
Regularly assess security: Regularly assess your system’s security and implement changes as necessary to improve cyber protection

Our Erasmus+ project called “STAND UP – Fighting cyberbullying by identifying it in the VET classroom aims to give VET teachers the resources they need to understand cyberbullying and how to combat it. It will also make VET students aware of the risks associated with cyberbullying.
