JAKARTA - Early January is the right time to start implementing healthy digital habits and you still have time to commit to yourself and try to follow them for the next year.

Kaspersky experts have prepared a list of simple digital healthy habits that can strengthen the security of your personal data and even make life more comfortable in the coming year.

New Year, new password

Start the New Year by changing the right password. However, the main rule must be remembered, namely not to use the same password for many accounts.

If you are like a lot of people and have multiple online accounts, reliable password management solutions will be helpful. Modern password managers have features that simplify their life with passwords.

Subscription of notifications regarding leakage of account data

In addition to the leakage of weak password data, there are other threats to personal and company accounts. Unfortunately, data breaches are quite common, and it's difficult to track everything. However, you can cope with a subscription to a service that has the ability to scan the latest data leaks and whether the violation contains your personal data.

Use VPN

VPN must now be owned by anyone who wants to stay safe and protected for their privacy while online. Modern VPN solutions meet all user needs, for example, easy to use, provide high traffic speeds, and maintain the confidentiality of personal data.

In addition, hiding your IP addresses from websites and advertisers, gives you better privacy. Web tracking can have unexpected consequences, for example, targeted advertising can reveal the prizes you give to the family.

Transfer documents to a safe place

To keep your personal documents safe and not fall into the wrong hands, save documents in the password management app. Modern password managers are able to store more than just passwords or banking data.

Currently, children have digital devices in their hands since the age of about five. To make the child's path to the digital world safe and still attractive, it is important to teach and share with them online security rules from childhood. To make the sharing session more fun and interesting, parents can use games and other entertainment formats.

Small steps such as creating unique passwords for different accounts and using advanced solutions such as password managers can greatly upgrade your privacy while making the job much simpler. And there's no better time to start a new digital life that's safer than in the New Year, Vladislav T waynov's comments, Lead Data Scientist at Kaspersky.
