Dirty habit #1 Not securing access to your network
How to clean it up?
 Enable multi-factor authentication (eg, PINs, mobile verification codes, biometric identifiers & secure tokens)  Set up different levels of access authority and keep access records  Set limits and controls for accounts with privileged access  Use temporary security credentials for critical data ­ NOT access keys  Use a VPN to mask your IP when surfing on public networks or connecting to the office

Dirty habit #2 Letting phishing attacks slip through
How to clean it up?
 Open links and attachments ONLY from trusted sources  Check the sender's details closely ­ for example, does the email
address's domain look legit?  Be wary of requests for personal information and offers that are too
good to be true  Use a firewall as a shield between your computer and an attacker to prevent external attacks
