FAQ

Cybersecurity: common questions

What is the single most useful security tool?
A password manager with unique passwords everywhere and two-factor authentication on email. Credential reuse causes far more real-world account loss than exotic malware.
Does a VPN make me anonymous?
No. It moves trust from your network provider to the VPN provider and encrypts traffic in transit. That is genuinely useful on untrusted networks and irrelevant to accounts you are logged into.
Is built-in antivirus enough?
For most people with an up-to-date operating system and careful download habits, yes. Paid suites mainly add convenience features, family controls and support rather than dramatically better detection.
