For the seasoned IT this may seem like a no-brainer, but the general computer user it isn’t!
Consider passing this along to your church or organization staff.
Have you been phished or found poor password policy a problem?

I think one of the key points that no one ever seems to mention with regards to security is that you have to do things in layers. You start with what you want to secure, and then move outward, adding layer after layer after layer.
Also remember that security is not just what is described above. Security includes how well your physical servers are protected, how well your office is protected, and things like that. The best password in the world is absolutely useless if you write it down on a piece of paper, and stick it to your monitor where anybody walking past your office and look in and see it.
One of the great downfalls of passwords and password managers is physical access. If someone has physical access to your computer they can do anything. Your Macbook can be switched off and your account password protected, but that won’t stop me in the slightest from getting every little bit of information off your computer. I won’t even bother trying to guess your password, I can easily get your data without it.
How easy is it for people to get into your office or your building? What happens if your datacentre is damaged by tornados?
Security is more than just software flaws and passwords, it is preventing data loss or compromise of any sort.

Oh, also key management. Who has keys to your property? How do you handle a situation where you lose a key? Do you change the locks?
