[IT Security Tip] Do you have a yearly checklist?

Do you have an annual or bi-annual checklist for your cybersecurity?

Cybersecurity is something many people don't think about too often until they are directly affected by it. If you had a list of cybersecurity tasks that you did annually or bi-annually that would greatly improve your network security.

Some simple things to focus on are:

Passwords- Review your accounts and update passwords or start using a password management tool like LastPass. Also, enabling Multi-Factor Authentication with all your accounts.

Computer Review- Go through your computer and get rid of what isn't necessary. Delete software, applications, and files that you don't need anymore. This will help keep your computer running faster and more efficiently.

Deep Clean- This one is something everyone probably hates but is a necessary evil. Clean up and organize your desk, filing cabinets, and any other areas that might hold sensitive material. If you look around these areas, I bet you have some sensitive information laying around them. Take the time to organize, shred and properly and securely store these items.

Focusing on these simple tasks will help you improve your organization and security.
