Cyber Security Protection

Which of the cybersecurity methods do you know!? I would like to protect myself

[Matt]

@mollyareb I moved your question to Security & Privacy Center forum because it suits your question better. Moreover, to get a better answer from the community members and experts.

In my opinion the best ways to protect your computer from any cyber attacks is using a internet security suite such as Kaspersky internet security, and always make sure it database is up to date. Furthermore,  always use strong and complex passwords because it will provide critical security in order to protect yourself against financial fraud and identity theft.

 

I hope this will answer your question.

You can ask me about Kaspersky Internet Security and KeyScrambler

Mollyareb:

 

Use an antivirus program.  Keep it up to date.  And do a quick scan periodically.  I use Kaspersky.

Use a firewall that can stop outgoing communications.  KIS has a good firewall.

Use a password manager and use complex passwords on web sites.  I use Keepass

Enable 2 factor authentication wherever possible.  I use Authy

Never click on a link sent to you in an email.  Always go to the site via your bookmarks or typing in manually.

Backup your key files to an external hard drive or the cloud.

If you use public wifi, then invest in a VPN serviice and use it on your portable device.  I use NordVPN

Well perhaps not all of them, and more importantly one should restrict incoming connections as well.
