How do you handle remote threats or malicious attacks from bad threat actors?
- Use a secure, reliable gateway, such as a reputable firewall or proxy, to protect you from outside threats.
- Block all connections or communication from malicious sources.
- Ensure that all of your security solutions are updated.
I’ve learned the hard way that the same security best practice can also be applied in real life.
- Always look out for warning signs and never ignore them.
- Trust no one, always verify.
- Surround yourself with good people.
- Avoid people of ill repute at all cost.
- Use the principle of least privilege.
- If all else fails and you go down, it’s always good to have a backup plan and recover from there.
