Day 20: Improve Your Cyber Safety — Small Steps That Protect Everything

Cyber security can feel overwhelming, especially if you’re running a business, working remotely, or managing multiple online accounts. But staying safe online doesn’t have to be complicated.

Can you say that you are definitely protected?

Small actions can make a huge difference.

Two of the simplest and most effective habits you can build are:

• Using unique passwords for different platforms

• Turning on two-factor authentication (2FA)

Why this matters:

• One compromised password can affect multiple accounts

• 2FA adds an extra layer of protection

• You reduce the risk of data breaches and identity theft

• You protect sensitive work, client and personal information

Cyber safety isn’t just an IT issue, it’s a professional responsibility.

A password manager can help you store secure passwords without needing to remember them all, and most platforms make enabling 2FA quick and straightforward.

Today’s challenge:

1. Choose one important account

2. Update the password if needed

3. Turn on two-factor authentication

A few minutes of action today can save hours, and stress in the future.
