Practical Tips and Guide in a Layman's Language; Cyber Security Demystified for Non-techie, Students, Organization, and for the Common Man

Tips to stay safe online:

• Use a long, unique password made up of numbers, letters and symbols for each of your important accounts like email and online banking.

• Don’t send your password via email, and don’t share it with others.

• Set up your password recovery options and keep them up-to-date.

• Avoid scams - don’t reply if you see a suspicious email, instant message or webpage asking for your personal or financial information.

• Report and flag content that is abusive or illegal.

• Frequently check your privacy and security settings, and customize how you want to share your content.

• Be mindful of your digital reputation — think twice before you post something embarrassing, harmful or inappropriate.

• Keep your device’s browser and operating system up-to-date. When you do install software, make sure you’re getting the software from a trusted source.

• Pay close attention when asked to sign in online. Check to see if the web address begins with https:// — which signals that your connection to the website is encrypted and more resistant to snooping or tampering.

• Always lock your screen when you’re finished using your computer, tablet or phone, and for added security, set it to lock automatically when it goes to sleep.
