Cyber hygiene refers to the ongoing practices individuals and organizations adopt to protect digital systems and data from threats. It involves routine actions like software updates, strong password management, multi-factor authentication (MFA), and regular backups. Human error remains a major risk, making employee training and awareness critical components. Poor password habits, outdated software, and lack of visibility into sensitive data are common cyber hygiene pitfalls. For organizations, cyber hygiene also includes network segmentation, incident response planning, and regular security audits. Email security plays a vital role, with technical safeguards like SPF, DKIM, and DMARC helping prevent phishing. Ultimately, cyber hygiene is not a one-time fix but a continuous effort that requires vigilance, collaboration, and adaptability to evolving cyber threats.
