Cyber Hygiene

As we step into 2025, it’s time to get serious about cyber hygiene. Think of it as a fitness routine—not for your body but for your digital systems. Cyber threats are evolving faster than ever, and staying ahead requires more than just reactive fixes. Regular maintenance, smart habits, and proactive strategies can make all the difference in safeguarding your digital assets. The goal? To stop cyberattacks before they even have a chance to start.

So, what exactly is cyber hygiene? Simply put, it’s the set of everyday practices that keep your systems clean, secure, and ready to face whatever threats come your way. Just as personal hygiene helps prevent illness, cyber hygiene keeps malware, ransomware, and data breaches at bay.
