Securing Your Data

Securing Your Data

To protect your online information from cyber-attacks or data theft, it is important to follow precautions with strong passwords and backed-up files.

The first step to securing your information is to password-protect your different accounts.

  • Set different passwords for your accounts with a mixture of uppercase, lowercase, numbers, and symbols.
  • Store your passwords in a safe place.
  • Take advantage of multi-step authorization when available.

To protect yourself against data loss, back up your electronic data with these steps.

  • Print out all electronic receipts and important documents and file them in a safe place.
  • Many computers come with a software program that allows you to make copies of every file and program on your computer.
  • Cloud backup service is best to store an unlimited amount of backup data.
  • External hard drives are best if your computer contains large files or serves as a library for images, music, and video files.
