Cyber hygiene
In Turkish: Siber hijyen
The small routine habits, like updating, backing up and checking before clicking, that keep your digital life in good shape.
Like washing hands, none of these habits is dramatic and each prevents a lot. The value comes from doing them regularly, not from doing something heroic once.
A simple monthly check works for many people: review which devices are signed in, install pending updates, confirm your backup ran, and remove apps you no longer use.
What to do
- Pick one day each month for a ten-minute security check.
- Turn on automatic updates wherever possible.
- Delete accounts and apps you no longer use.
