ITSEC Asia shares steps or tips for securing each individual's personal data in the digital era.

The first step to maintain personal data in the digital era is in terms of passwords. You must create a password that is strong or difficult to predict. In addition, you must also change the password regularly.

Avoid creating passwords with name or date of birth because it is easy to guess. To create a difficult password, you can combine it from large letters, numbers, to punctuations. Don't forget to change the password regularly. In these two ways, it is guaranteed that your password is difficult to break into.

The next way to secure personal data is to be aware of sharing information. In the open era like now, many people want to share all their activities and belonging to them. Even though carelessly spreading information endangers your personal data.

When using the internet, avoid sharing important information such as ID cards, QR codes, passportes, photos of tickets or other personal data such as personal numbers and family names. Make sure you don't share personal data when using social media.

This step needs to be done because there are various forms of cyber crime, ranging from identity theft, account burglary, to data collection for fraud. Usually, digital platforms will contact their users when hacking attempts are detected. But it's better for users to secure it from themselves from the start.

The digital era demands that we use various social media and platforms for online activities, such as transactions, communication, work, and so on. Every use of digital platforms, we are asked to enter email and password addresses.

Try to use different emails in every platform or need. The use of one email for many platforms can potentially easily break into your account. When an account is breached, your personal data will be stolen and can be misused.

You must have found links that you think are suspicious or unclear about their origin. Do not let you click or visit suspicious links. This step can help you prevent phishing attacks or breach of information such as account data and other personal data.

Also, try not to download unofficial, suspicious applications or from untrusted websites. Don't forget to check the website address you visited. Often cybercriminals act using fake websites.

The next way to secure personal data is to use antiviral. Put antivirus on your device to protect against malware attacks.

In addition, also use application safety features. Usually, these features are provided in default from the application, such as Two Factor Authentication (2FA), End-toend encryption, One Time Password (OTP), and other security systems.

As a user of digital platforms, don't forget to always pay attention to the progress of the application. Do an application update if the latest version is available.

The latest version of the app update often aims to improve the security system. In addition, you also need to remove or remove unused applications.

Those are some tips for personal data in the digital era like now. Although every digital platform already has a sophisticated security system, you are required to provide security starting from yourself.
