Patching a leaky ship:

Identifying and fixing vulnerabilities before they can be exploited.

Being on high alert:

Actively monitoring for potential threats and suspicious activity.

Nipping security threats in the bud:

Addressing security issues promptly before they escalate.

Playing whack-a-mole:

Constantly responding to emerging threats, one after the other.

The calm before the storm:

Feeling uneasy about a seemingly quiet security landscape, anticipating potential attacks.

Following the breadcrumbs:

Investigating security incidents and piecing together evidence to identify the root cause.

 

 

Password Security:

Choose a password as strong as Fort Knox:

Emphasizing the importance of complex and unique passwords.

Don't be a sitting duck:

Avoid easily guessable passwords that make you vulnerable to attacks.

My firewall is so strong

It could deflect a meteor made of malware.

My social engineering skills are so good

I could convince a fish to climb a tree.
