Four Ways to Minimize the Risk of Cyber ​​Attack

As cyber threats continue to evolve and flourish, organizations and individuals need to ensure that they have a solid, clean and strong cyber security plan. Here are four best practices that individuals and organizations can consider to minimize cyber risk and stay afloat in the ever-changing threat landscape, as released by Microsoft Asia Pacific:

1. Do not work in public Wi-Fi hotspots where attackers can "peek" digital communications, capture login details and passwords, and access personal data.

2. Regularly update the operating system and other software programs to ensure the latest patch has been installed. This can reduce the risk of exploitation of vulnerability.

3. Reduce the risk of compromising credentials by educating users about why they should avoid simple keywords and implement multi-factor authentication methods, such as one from Azure Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA).
