Relying on digital tools exposes designers to various cybersecurity risks that could put their projects, assets, and sensitive client information in danger.
Recognizing certain cybersecurity red flags early on is important so your work and client data are always secure.
Cybercriminals take advantage of the code to access sensitive information or cause system malfunctions.
Graphic designers constantly share files online. Using unencrypted file-sharing methods or public Wi-Fi’s pose a significant risk for data interception.
Designers deal with many file formats, including PSD, AI, JPG, and PDF.
Cloud storage is convenient, but it’s also a privacy risk when configured incorrectly.
Use a virtual private network (VPN) to protect your connection when you work from home or use public Wi-Fi.
Most cloud storage and collaboration platforms support two-factor authentication.
Always use trusted platforms like Adobe, Envato, and Google Fonts to upload your files.
Integrating security measures into your daily routine can keep your digital life safe and let you focus on creative work.
