Concrete steps to reduce risk at home and work—accounts, devices, and networks.
Accounts & Auth
Use a password manager. Enable MFA—prefer passkeys or hardware keys. Review high‑risk accounts quarterly.
Device Hygiene
Keep OS and browsers updated; enable disk encryption; remove unused apps; audit permissions; back up regularly.
Networks
Update router firmware; disable WPS; separate IoT on a guest/VLAN; prefer HTTPS and trusted DNS.
