Good cybersecurity hygiene is about maintaining the security and health of systems, devices, networks, and data. Strong hygiene combines security, compliance, reputation, and business continuity—building trust with staff and customers while opening new business opportunities.

So, how’s your security hygiene? Consider this:

• No technical resources or budget? Poor hygiene.

• Understaffed with no tools? Poor hygiene.

• Plenty of tools but no staff to manage them? Still poor hygiene.

The key to improving security hygiene is balancing proactive and reactive IT efforts. For example, fixing root causes reduces user issues, which lowers support needs and frees up resources for engineering and strategic projects. Shifting IT from an expense to an investment drives maturity, enabling your business to operate more strategically.
