Cybersecurity Awareness Month - Week 1: Basic Cybersecurity Essentials

With everyone using a device connected to the Internet is really important to know how to be safe. Here some tips to make your digital life more safe:

Use legitimate applications: make sure you are using trustworthily apps. There are some false applications that lookalike, the originals and downloading them could bring some problems. One of them could be: open a backdoor (turning you device vulnerable for a virus and malware).

Operation System updated: Always update your operation system and your applications. Some of these updates are for correcting vulnerabilities that developers may have found. Side note: try not updating in the same day that the update is released, some of them could bring more vulnerabilities, the first day is typically the test day.

Antivirus: use a antivirus. They may not be hundred percent efficiently sometimes, but is safer a door locked than just closed right? Always update the antivirus too, if a new virus or malware is found the antivirus database should be update to recognize them.

Use strong passwords: it is a cliché I know, but some people still not following this advice.A strong password has numbers, letters and symbols. A password like "123abc!@$" aren't strong!! You need using random sequels, and upper and lowercase. Side note: try putting a phrase that you like (but no one knows you like) this way your password will be bigger more difficult to break. Something like "ILoveSunflowers" plus some numbers and symbols could create a  strong password.
