It is essential to stay ahead in today's highly connected world by collecting good threat intelligence. Individuals and households can better protect their networks and devices by taking stock of the threats that may come their way. To proactively block threats and improve detection, individuals should limit their attack surface, improve their network visibility, and understand what malicious activity might target them. Start by evaluating your attack surface and taking note of the devices in your household. Ensure the firewall is active on each device and that it is connected to a trusted gateway. Check the permissions for each app to make sure they are limited and do not put your personal and/or device information at risk. Consider the reputation of the company, its user base, and its privacy and data policies. Limit the distribution of your personal and business information on social media accounts. Use a trusted password manager to store credentials securely. By understanding our attack surface and the connections between our devices and the internet, we can better protect ourselves.
