Cyber Security Awareness

General Cyber Security Guidelines

1. Password Security

Cybersecurity is the backbone of digital safety, and passwords are its first gatekeepers. A weak password can lead to data breaches, identity theft, and unauthorized system access.

This month’s focus is on Password Security – ensuring our digital identities are protected.

Why it matters: Strong, frequently updated passwords help prevent unauthorized access to sensitive systems and protect institutional data.

Do’s:

  • Use complex passwords (8+ characters, with uppercase, lowercase, numbers & symbols)
  • Change passwords at least every 45 days
  • Use multi-factor authentication wherever available

Don’ts:

  • Don’t use the same password across sites
  • Don’t store passwords in browsers or unsecured files

Benefits: Reduced risk of account compromise, improved data protection, and better compliance.

“Treat your password like your toothbrush. Don’t let anybody else use it, and get a new one every six months.”
— Clifford Stoll
