No worries, I made some for you.\u00a0To kick off 2026, here are practical New Year\u2019s Cybersecurity Resolutions you can adopt today\u2014at work, in class, and at home.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">1) Use strong, unique passphrases everywhere<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Make\u00a0your\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.chapman.edu\/campus-services\/information-systems\/security\/password-management.aspx\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">passwords<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u00a0long (three\u00a0to\u00a0five random words,\u00a0each\u00a0at least 12 characters) and unique for each account. Avoid reusing\u00a0passwords\u00a0across services.\u00a0Use a password manager and not your\u00a0browser\u2019s\u00a0password manager.\u00a0Use passkeys\u00a0whenever\u00a0they are available.\u00a0Lock your computer whenever you step away,\u00a0even \u201cjust for a minute.\u201d These simple practices are among the most effective safeguards.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">2) Keep devices up to date<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Enable automatic\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/information-systems\/2025\/10\/16\/keep-your-devices-safe-the-importance-of-software-updates\/\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">updates for your operating system, browsers, and apps<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"auto\">. Patching closes known vulnerabilities before attackers can exploit them.\u00a0Do this for\u00a0your\u00a0laptop, tablets,\u00a0and mobile phones.\u00a0This is a standing best practice.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">3) Turn on Multi\u2011Factor Authentication (MFA)<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.chapman.edu\/campus-services\/information-systems\/security\/2-factor-authentication.aspx\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">Wherever MFA is\u00a0available<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"auto\">, use it. A second verification step (e.g., an app prompt) dramatically reduces account\u2011takeover risk and is strongly recommended across our Chapman InfoSec\u2019s guidance.\u00a0<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Biometrics, such as fingerprints, are even better.\u00a0Enable them whenever you can.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><span data-contrast=\"none\">4) Exercise caution whenever you share content or use screen-sharing features<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Check that no sensitive data (passwords, PII, HR\/health info) is visible before you present or record. Use privacy filters for public spaces and mask sensitive details in screenshots.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">5) Use encrypted networks\u2014and VPN off campus<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Avoid open Wi\u2011Fi. When traveling or working remotely, connect through VPN to encrypt traffic and protect University data.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">6) Share data only through Chapman\u2011approved apps<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">When collaborating, use approved cloud tools and set\u00a0expiration\u00a0dates on external sharing links. For guidance, see the\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.chapman.edu\/campus-services\/information-systems\/services\/cloud-storage.aspx\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">University\u2019s Cloud Storage page<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"auto\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">7) Recognize and report phishing fast<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Look for mismatched links, urgent requests, and unexpected attachments.
