Phishing Awareness — Teach users to be cautious of phishing attempts, where attackers trick individuals into revealing sensitive information through deceptive emails, messages, or websites. Advise them to verify the authenticity of links and attachments before clicking on them and to be wary of sharing personal information online.
Strong Passwords — Encourage users to create strong passwords that are unique for each application they use. A strong password typically includes a mix of uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and special characters. Avoid using easily guessable information like birthdays or names.

Warn against visiting suspicious websites or downloading files from untrusted emails, as they may contain malware or viruses. Encourage users to use reliable sources and verify the authenticity of downloads

Explain that granting unnecessary permissions may expose personal data or device functionalities. Encourage users to review and understand the permissions requested by apps before granting access.
Regular Updates — Emphasize the importance of keeping applications and devices up to date. Explain that software updates often include security patches that address known vulnerabilities. Encourage users to enable automatic updates or regularly check for updates themselves
