The Cyber Security Thread

I'd like to talk about what you do to guard against cyber-threats e.g. hacking, data theft, email interception, password compromise, ransomware, etc.

This is in your home or small business. Not asking what big companies with lots of IT staff do.

Do you, for example:
- Use a hardware firewall or other security device on your network?
- Run certain software security or anti-malware apps?
- Routinely connect through VPNs when not at home/office? or always?
- Regularly encrypt emails or attachments?
- Encrypt local storage or cloud storage, backups, etc?
- Use precautions or special process for inbound communications?
- Have a password or 2FA strategy or helper apps?

How do you do it - e.g. if you use a security device or email encryption, which ones?
