    Cybersecurity Recommendations Mandatory actions to be taken towards cybersecurity 1. Change Passwords and Use Strong Passwords: The number one reason systems get “hacked” is due to having weak or default passwords. It is recommended to change default passwords immediately and choose a strong password whenever possible.
  • Page 3 In the event that your social media, bank, email, etc. account is compromised, you would not want someone collecting those passwords and trying them out on your video surveillance system. Using a different username and password for your security system will make it more difficult for someone to guess their way into your system.
