7 Minute Security show

Summary: <p>I'm putting together a general security awareness session aimed at helping individuals and businesses <em>not</em> get hacked. To play off the lucky number 7, I'm trying to broil this list down to 7 key things to focus on. Here's my list thus far:</p> <ol> <li>Passwords</li> <li>2FA/MFA</li> <li>Wifi (put a good password on it, don't use WEP, don't use WPS</li> <li>Sign up for <a href="https://haveibeenpwned.com" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">HaveIBeenPwned</a> </li> <li>Update all the things</li> <li>Block malware/mining with browser plugins</li> <li>Security awareness training</li> </ol><p>What do you think? Anything I missed or should consider swapping with another topic? <a href="https://7ms.us/contact" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">Contact me</a>!</p>
