The weather here where I live has been great the past several days and it (almost) has me wanting to get in the yard. I said almost! I hate yard work!!
But the spring weather forthcoming is not only great to get us out of the house and enjoying warmer weather, but spring also brings “spring cleaning,” which is also something we can do inside — you know, cleaning out closets, getting rid of clothes that no longer fit (due to all the holiday and this year, pandemic eating), etc.
But this spring, I’m also talking about spring cleaning to enhance your cyber security.
According to the Multi-State Information Sharing and Analysis Center monthly cybersecurity newsletter’s “2021 Cybersecurity Spring Cleaning Checklist,” spring time is a good time to clean up your technology and cyber footprint.
Throughout the year, especially around the holidays and during tax season, you extend your cyber footprint by paying bills, shopping, using social media, and many other digital activities whether for business or pleasure. Spring cleaning your space is meant to improve the air quality after having it closed up all winter, and cleaning can improve your mood and remove a year’s worth of clutter. Cleaning your technology and cyber footprint can do the same thing; it removes clutter from your life while at the same time protecting you and your loved ones.
When spring cleaning, you often make a list to ensure you don’t forget to clean the spots you don’t normally think about, like behind the sofa or on top of the fridge. To help you spring clean your technology and cyber footprint, this article includes a checklist to help you through the process. Things like:
- Passwords
- Stale Applications
- Social Media
- Closing Accounts
- Backups
- Updating Devices
- Disposal
- And even cleaning up/out your desk
So what are you waiting for? The weather is only going to get better. Go ahead and get that cyber security spring cleaning done today so you can not only enjoy the weather, but also be more assured of your cyber safety.
