Once upon a spring morning, the Easter Bunny was hopping through the digital woods, basket in paw, ready to deliver goodies to all the good little devices connected to the internet.
But oh no! His basket had a hole.
Not a literal one – a cybersecurity one.
He’d been hacked!
Turns out, the Bunny was reusing his password from 2004 (Easter123) and clicked on a suspicious email promising “Free Carrots for Life.” Classic bunny blunder.
Luckily, this tale has a happy ending. The Bunny quickly learned how to patch up his basket – and now, he wants to help you do the same.
So, what should be in your cybersecurity Easter basket?
Strong, Unique Passwords
Use a password manager. If you can remember it easily, hackers can guess it even easier.
Multi-Factor Authentication
Think of it like locking your candy and hiding it inside a chocolate bunny. Double the protection.
Security Patches & Updates
Just like eggs go bad, so does outdated software. Patch early, patch often.
Endpoint Protection (EDR>Antivirus)
Old-school antivirus is like trying to fight off a fox with a jellybean. Get a smart tool that knows the tricks hackers play.
Security Awareness Training
If it smells phishy, it probably is. Train your team not to fall for egg-scam spam.
Backup & Disaster Recovery
Even the Easter Bunny has a plan for rainy weather. Back up your data offsite and test your recovery plans regularly.
Email Filtering & Spam Protection
Keep the spammy peeps out of your inbox. Clean email = fewer headaches.
This Easter, as you’re snacking on a Reese’s egg before breakfast, take a moment to peek into your digital basket. Are you ready for a safe spring? Or will your network end up with nothing but cracked eggs and malware jelly?
