How to ensure cybersecurity in 2023

 


Cybersecurity is important in today’s world. As technological advancements make digital payments easy, cybercrimes have increased rapidly across the world. Criminals are adopting new strategies to steal money from people. Hackers track people to hack their data and money. How to ensure cybersecurity in 2023?

It is important to create a robust digital infrastructure to protect user data. Artificial Intelligence (AI), machine learning, behavioural biometrics and device intelligence could help to ensure cybersecurity in 2023.

Know Your Customer (KYC) processes can help to prevent and identify unlawful activities such as money laundering and terrorism financing.

Another great way to protect your data is to keep strong passwords. Use strong passwords for online security. Choose complex passwords of upper case letters, symbols and numbers. Hackers cannot track these kinds of passwords easily. Do not use the same password for all your social media apps and websites. If you have trouble remembering passwords, you can use a password manager to store all of your passwords for different apps.

Two-factor or multi-factor authentication can also protect users' data. In this method, a person can use another password or fingerprint.

Avoid using public WI-FI for financial transactions. Always choose a Virtual Private Network (VPN) if using a WI-FI network. This way, cybercriminals cannot hack your personal data.

Always think before you click anything. Over 90% of cyber-attacks start with a phishing email. Hackers collect sensitive and personal information of internet users through phishing. They send emails to people pretending to be from legitimate businesses. Do not click quickly on those emails. If you click on such links, you will be scammed. They will be able to steal your passwords, social security numbers, credit card and debit card numbers, as well as other sensitive information.

A ransom attack can also steal your data. Cybercriminals can also hack the password of your social media accounts through malicious spyware.
