*Avoid substituting numbers for letters or symbols. For example, "P@$$W0RD1" is not a secure password.

*Enable Two-Factor Authentication (2FA). Choose to authenticate via an "authenticator" app which provides a one-time passcode. Most times SMS is the default second factor however this can be spoofed with a method called sim-swapping.

==Social Media and Messaging==
Social media services surround our device and most of the time have broad access to areas of a device that are not commonly associated with social media apps such as Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter.
In order to protect devices and personal information, consider:
*Using Social Media only on personal devices.
*Having a strong passhrase, or passcode.
*Use two-factor authentication when possible.
*Avoid posting specific work-related details such as office location, on-going work projects, images of workstations and employee duties.
*Restrict access to what the social media application can access such as disabling access to the camera, phone call log, text messages, etc... if possible.
*Be smart! Think about what is being posted. Don't post something that you wouldn't feel comfortable yelling on the street or in a public place.
==Networking Devices and Internet Appliances==
===Cloud Services===
Cloud providers offer services that allow file storage, compute power, e-mail, office tools, and remote access (to name a few), which can be accessed remotely by logging into a control panel or server.
Best practices when using these services include: encrypting sensitive data, use anti-malware and backup services provided by the cloud service provider (CSP), inquire on where the data is being physically stored.
