5 Cybersecurity Resolutions for The New

Year

By Roger Spears, Schneider Downs

Whenever the new year rolls around, resolutions—to achieve a goal, improve a behavior or continue
good practices—abound. And, while many resolutions center personal goals such as fitness or financial
goals, the increased sophistication of cyber-crime in 2024 provides a good reason to put online safety on
your list this year.

So, if you are looking to switch up your resolution this year but aren’t sure where to start, you can borrow
from the cybersecurity experts. To help kickstart 2024, the Schneider Downs cyber team shared some
tips on how to protect yourself online:

1. Use a Password Manager – Password managers offer a convenient and secure method to
access your accounts by allowing you to create, store and use strong passwords in a centralized
manner. They also allow you to keep track of a variety of passwords for individual accounts, as
you should never use the same password for more than one account in case of a breach.
