Building Good Cyber Habits: Small Daily Steps for Big Protection is a practical guide that shows how everyday behaviors—not just advanced technology—determine whether we stay safe or fall victim in the digital world.

This book begins with the psychology of habits, explaining why people struggle with security discipline and how attackers exploit convenience, trust, and oversight. From there, it provides a clear roadmap for developing strong cyber hygiene across twelve core areas: passwords and authentication, updates and patching, backups, device security, phishing defense, safe browsing, social media protection, secure messaging, user awareness, physical security, and organizational culture.

Through real-world case studies—including the LinkedIn breach, WannaCry ransomware, the Target compromise, and the DNC hack—readers see how small lapses compound into massive incidents. More importantly, the book translates lessons into actionable guidance that can be woven into daily routines, such as adopting passphrases, enabling MFA, backing up data, patching promptly, and verifying suspicious emails.

Written for individuals, families, and businesses, the book emphasizes that cybersecurity is not a one-time setup but a lifestyle. Just as brushing your teeth prevents cavities, consistent small steps—taken daily—create lasting digital resilience.

Ultimately, Building Good Cyber Habits empowers readers to take control of their security, showing that with awareness, discipline, and cultural change, anyone can transform weak points into strong defenses and protect what matters most.
