Complete Cybersecurity Checklist

In today’s digital age, cybersecurity is not just a technical concern but a strategic imperative. With cyber threats becoming increasingly sophisticated, organizations and individuals must proactively safeguard their systems, data, and networks. This comprehensive cybersecurity checklist will help you implement robust security measures in seven critical areas: Account Security, Device Security, Data Security, Governance and Training, Vulnerability Management, Supply Chain/Third-Party Security, and Response and Recovery.

🔹 ACCOUNT SECURITY

Why It Matters

Your accounts are the gateway to sensitive information and critical systems. If compromised, attackers can exploit these accounts to access your network or conduct malicious activities.

Checklist:

1. Enable Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA):
   Use MFA for all accounts to add an extra layer of security beyond passwords.
2. Use Strong, Unique Passwords:
   Ensure passwords are at least 12 characters long and avoid reusing them across platforms.
3. Implement Password Managers:
   Use password management tools to securely store and generate passwords.
4. Monitor Account Activity:
   Regularly check login activity for unusual or unauthorized access attempts.
