Cybersecurity Essentials 2026

Zero Trust

Trust no request by default; always verify.

Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)

The simplest and most effective protection for accounts.

Backups

• Daily backups
• Monthly restore tests
• Air-gapped offline storage

Patch Management

Most breaches exploit known, unpatched vulnerabilities.

Human Training

Employees are the first line of defense. Train them against phishing.

Detection & Monitoring

Use SIEM and EDR for early detection.

Security is not a product, it's a continuous process.
