Security Best Practices

Account Security

  • Enable 2FA - Always use two-factor authentication
  • Use strong passwords - At least 12 characters with mixed case, numbers, and symbols
  • Don't reuse passwords - Use a password manager
  • Review active sessions - Check for unauthorized access regularly
  • Server Security

  • Keep software updated - Apply security patches promptly
  • Use SSH keys - Password authentication is disabled by default
  • Limit access - Only give access to people who need it
  • Monitor logs - Check for suspicious activity
  • Application Security

  • Validate input - Never trust user input
  • Use HTTPS everywhere - Encrypt all traffic
  • Secure your dependencies - Keep libraries and frameworks updated
  • Environment variables - Never hardcode secrets in your code
  • Backup Strategy

  • Enable automatic backups - They're included with your plan
  • Test restores - Regularly verify that backups are working
  • Off-site copies - Consider keeping additional backups elsewhere
  • Incident Response

    If you suspect a security breach:

  • Change your password immediately
  • Review and revoke active sessions
  • Check audit logs for unauthorized actions
