Security Habits for Everyone on the Team
Technology blocks most attacks, but people are the last line of defense. Share this guide with your team.
Seven Habits That Stop Most Attacks
- Use multi-factor authentication and never approve a prompt you didn’t start.
- Use unique passwords for every account, stored in a password manager.
- Pause before clicking. Urgent requests, unexpected attachments and login links deserve a second look.
- Verify payment requests by calling a known number, never the one in the email.
- Lock your screen when you step away.
- Keep devices updated and restart when updates are waiting.
- Report anything suspicious right away. There’s no penalty for a false alarm.
Working Remotely
- Avoid public Wi-Fi for sensitive work unless your device is protected
- Keep work data on work devices and approved apps
- Don’t let others use your work laptop
Make It Stick
Habits form with practice. Our security awareness training includes short lessons and simulated phishing to keep skills sharp. See also how hackers get in.
The Technical Side
How we support these habits technically:
- MFA with number matching so approving a sign-in requires typing a code
- Business password manager with shared vaults and offboarding
- Automatic updates pushed and tracked centrally
- Screen lock policies enforced through device management
- Report phishing button in Outlook
- Phishing simulations with short follow-up lessons
- Help desk that welcomes questions about anything suspicious

How to Secure From Hackers in West Palm Beach: Common Questions
What is the single best thing an employee can do?
Use multi-factor authentication everywhere it is offered and never approve a sign-in prompt you did not start.
How can I spot a phishing email?
Look for urgency, unexpected attachments or links, requests for passwords or payments, and sender addresses that don't quite match. When in doubt, verify by phone.
Should I use a password manager?
Yes. A password manager makes it easy to use unique, strong passwords for every account.
What should I do if I clicked something suspicious?
Report it to IT immediately. Quick reporting is what limits damage.
What is MFA fatigue?
Attackers with a stolen password send repeated sign-in approval requests hoping someone taps approve. Never approve a request you did not start, and report it to IT.
How do I verify a payment change request?
Call the person or vendor using a phone number you already have on file, not one in the email. Legitimate partners understand the extra step.
