Cyber Hygiene

Cyber hygiene, or cybersecurity hygiene, is a set of practices that organizations and individuals regularly engage in to ensure the health and safety of users, devices, networks, and data.

The goal of cyber hygiene is to keep sensitive data safe and protect it from theft or attacks. The concept works in a similar way to personal care. People maintain their health by taking precautionary measures to ensure that they remain healthy and clean, like flossing to minimize tooth decay and washing your hands to stop the spread of disease. Businesses can stay healthy and prevent data breaches and other security incidents by following preventive cyber hygiene measures.
