I'm the owner, I need access everywhere — period

The path to digital hell often starts right here, with owners, executives, and C-levels. Targeted attacks on leadership are exceptionally dangerous.

The path to digital hell often starts right here. With us — owners, executives, and C-levels. Targeted attacks on leadership are extremely effective. Compromising a regular user account (yours) often means compromising everything, because you inevitably need access "everywhere". The fix is dead simple, though?

You really don't need access everywhere. Always work under a regular, non-privileged account (not as an administrator).
If you really do need access "to everything", have a dedicated admin account created — one you don't use for daily work — protected with a strong password and multi-factor auth, and stored somewhere safe. We'll cover password storage another time.

Every day you can do one small thing to raise your IT security. It doesn't have to hurt much, and it certainly won't cost you anything. #hackerprotect #cybersecurity #technology #cloud
