About these notes
Cyber Hygiene Field Notes is a small independent journal about everyday digital safety. It is written for people who use a computer at work and never asked to become security specialists.
Each note is our own summary of public guidance from organisations such as CISA, NIST, the FBI, the FTC and the UK National Cyber Security Centre. We link to the original so you can read the full version. We are not affiliated with any of these organisations.
The site has no accounts, no comments, no analytics and no advertising. It sets no cookies. The checklist and the theme choice are stored only in your own browser.
