Security Best Practices – Tip Sheet

Instructions

There are many areas of our lives requiring extra security. Throughout the term, you’ll be creating your own Security Best Practices Tip Sheet.

For each week, you are to write 2 tips you learned from the reading material. Each tip should be 2 -3 sentences in length and should be different from others you’ve previously provided. Keep adding to your list throughout the term. At the end of the term, you’ll post your tips on the Security Best Practices Discussion Forum. Citations and references are not required.
