Attack surface
In Turkish: Saldırı yüzeyi
All the places an attacker could try to get in: every account, app, device and connected service you have.
Each old account, unused app or forgotten smart gadget is one more door. The more you have, the more you must keep updated and protected, and the more places can leak.
Reducing it is often easy: close accounts you do not use, remove apps you never open, and switch off features you do not need.
What to do
- Delete accounts and apps you have not used in a year.
- Turn off features such as remote access or open sharing if you do not use them.
- Prefer fewer, well-protected accounts over many forgotten ones.
