Manage risk
New challenges, same priority
In a world that is constantly changing, digitalisation, technological advances and smart grids have created new opportunities, but that also brought new challenges that we face with the same security.
The information is not disseminated inappropriately.
The prevention against unauthorized modification and/or destruction of information.
The accessibility of information where and when it is needed and without undue delay.
Users should adhere to basic data protection principles such as choosing strong passwords, keeping an eye on the emails they receive, and backing up the relevant information.
The implementation and exercise of processes allows the consolidation and systematisation of the security strategy of any organisation, helping to prevent, detect and respond to cyberattacks and ensure the resilience of operations.
Essential for ensuring the protection of organisations and people in a digital environment. Securing computers and networks with the right hardware and software is one of the first barriers to protecting against unwanted attacks.
Whether in emails or in your web browser, never click on links or open attachments of dubious origin.
Always check that the domains of the senders of the emails you receive are related to the entity sending them.
Check that the websites you access start with https://.
Around 80% of cyber-attacks start through phishing, a cyber-crime that consists of distributing emails with links to fake websites (banking institutions, social networks or others), to obtain personal data from users through update requests.
Ideally, your password should consist of several types of characters, such as letters (lower and upper case), numbers and special characters.
Avoid including names, dates and document numbers.
Do not share your password, do not have it written down and do not use the same one for different logins, because if someone finds it for one account, they will be able to access all the others.
The passwords "123456", "password" and "qwerty" are some of the most commonly used passwords in the world. They are dangerous because they are not very complex and quite common.
Never leave your device without locking it, whether it's your computer, phone or tablet.
Set an automatic lock time for your device. That way, even if you forget to do so, the device will lock itself after that time (e.g. 30 seconds).
Leaving your device unlocked can allow important information to be stolen by third parties.
Be careful with the devices you connect to your computer. Viruses can be spread using infected USBs, external disks or cell phones.
Similarly, don't connect your USB or external disk to devices you don't know or that are used by many people.
Save the most important information on an external device or cloud drive. That way, if anything happens to your computer or the device that holds your data, you'll have a backup of what you need.
