Cyber safety tips must read for better security

Suggestions for better security:

• Use strong passwords. Choose passwords that are difficult or impossible to guess. Give different passwords to all other accounts. 
• Make regular back-up of critical data. Back-up must be made atleast once in each day. Larger organizations should perform a full back-up weekly and incremental back-up every day. Atleast once in a month the back-up media should be verified.
• Use Antivirus software and update regularly. 
• Use a firewall. Firewalls are usually software products. They are essential for those who keep their computers online through the popular Broadband and cable modem connections. 
• Do not keep computers online when not in use. Either shut them off or physically disconnect them from Internet connection. 
• Do not open e-mail attachments from strangers, regardless of how enticing the subject line or attachment may be. Be suspicious of any unexpected e-mail attachment from someone you do know because it may have been sent without that person’s knowledge from an infected machine. 
Regularly download security patches from your software vendors.
