First, protect your accounts. I used to think a short password was enough, but now I know we must use long passwords and enable two-factor authentication when possible. At first, it may feel strange, but soon you get used to writing stronger passwords, and after a while, you are used to doing it naturally.

Second, consider permanence before you post something. Many people used to post without thinking, but the truth is that once something is online, it can stay there forever. We have to get used to stopping for a second and asking: “Do I really want this online?”

Third, verify information with reliable sources. I used to believe everything I saw online, but now I’m used to double-checking before I share. It takes practice, but we can get used to checking facts quickly.

Fourth, refuse to share personal data with strangers. I know some people used to feel safe giving out their phone number or address online, but today it’s too risky. We must get used to saying “no” when someone we don’t trust asks for personal details.

Fifth, watch out for suspicious emails and links. Hackers used to fool many people with fake messages, but if we are used to checking carefully, we can avoid traps. It’s important to get used to hovering over links or verifying the sender before clicking.

In the end, staying safe online is about everyday choices that protect your data, your reputation, and our community. It may take time, but the more we practice, the more we get used to safe habits. And once we are used to them, they just become part of our normal life.

Malware → malicious software

Bandwidth: The maximum amount of data transmitted over an internet connection in a given time.

Latency: The delay before a transfer of data begins following an instruction.

Algorithm: A step-by-step procedure to solve a problem or perform a task in computing.

Scalability: Capacity to grow or handle more workload.

Redundancy: Duplication for reliability.

Cyber Resilience & Incident Response Plans

It companies are not only focus in attacks preventions but also in recoveryng quickly from attacks.

Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)

Adds extra security steps (codes, biometrics, security keys).

Employee Cybersecurity Awareness Programs

Regular training to recognize phishing, scams, and social engineering because many attacks happened for humans actions.

As a user, you use it when you connec to a website using https:// instead of http://, and it appears PAdlot icon, and it makes sure 3 things:

• Encryption – nobody can read your data in transit.

• Integrity – your data can’t be modified along the way.

• Authentication – you’re actually talking to the right server.

2FA Protocol

As a user, you use 2FA when logging into an account that asks for two steps to verify your identity — for example, entering your password and a code sent to your phone or generated by an app like Google Authenticator. This Makes sure that the person signing in is really you and reduces the risk of hacking, phishing, or unauthorized access.

VPN Protocol

As a user, you use a VPN when you connect your device to the internet through a secure, encrypted tunnel provided by a VPN server. This hides your real IP address and protects your data from being tracked or intercepted.

Using a VPN isn’t very common because most reliable services require a paid subscription. There are some free options, though many people believe they are not very safe.

In addition to providing security and privacy, a VPN also allows you to access websites that may be blocked or restricted in your region.

Check out the app’s new dark mode—it’s cooler.

My old laptop gave out right in the middle of the compile.

Hackers tried to break into the system last night—hopefully the IT team had carried out the security update.

The IT policy calls for key rotation every 90 days, so yeah… we have to do it.

When the chaos is over, we’ll write up the incident.

The restore (from backup) was carried out at midnight.

Please fill in the incident form and attach logs.

The goal is to find out which endpoint is the bottleneck.
