Security Best Practices

Security Best Practices

Account Security

• Enable 2FA - Always use two-factor authentication
• Use strong passwords - At least 12 characters with mixed case, numbers, and symbols
• Don't reuse passwords - Use a password manager
• Review active sessions - Check for unauthorized access regularly

Server Security

• Keep software updated - Apply security patches promptly
• Use SSH keys - Password authentication is disabled by default
• Limit access - Only give access to people who need it
• Monitor logs - Check for suspicious activity

Application Security

• Validate input - Never trust user input
• Use HTTPS everywhere - Encrypt all traffic
• Secure your dependencies - Keep libraries and frameworks updated
• Environment variables - Never hardcode secrets in your code

Backup Strategy

• Enable automatic backups - They're included with your plan
• Test restores - Regularly verify that backups are working
• Off-site copies - Consider keeping additional backups elsewhere
