Poor cyber hygiene, characterized by unsafe practices in the use of technology and data, poses a significant risk to businesses of all sizes. In this post, we will explore what constitutes poor cyber hygiene, its impact on organizations, and how Soffid can be a vital ally in its prevention.
What is Poor Cyber Hygiene?
Poor cyber hygiene includes a variety of risky practices, such as the use of weak and easily guessable passwords, negligence in installing security updates and patches, clicking on suspicious email links, and the lack of proper security solutions. These actions can open the door to cyberattacks, such as malware, ransomware, and phishing.

To combat poor cyber hygiene, it is crucial to implement robust security policies. This includes:
- Establishing and enforcing strong password policies.
- Conducting regular cybersecurity training for employees.
- Keeping all systems and software up to date.
- Implementing trusted security solutions.
This is where Soffid comes into play. Our platform offers:
