Sarah Peracha announces launch of cybersecurity manual for millennials to protect professional networks on LinkedIn

United Arab Emirates – October 14, 2024 –

Sarah Peracha, CEO of Peracha Ventures and recognized leader in innovation, sustainability and marketing, announced the release of the new Cybersecurity Playbook: How Millennials can protect their professional network. This in-depth guide is designed to help young professionals protect their LinkedIn profiles against cyber threats, offering insights into how to manage cybersecurity risks and maintain mental wellbeing in an increasingly vulnerable digital environment.
LinkedIn has become a vital platform for professional growth and professional networking, allowing users to connect globally and access new opportunities. However, this increased visibility has led to an increase in cyberattacks, with personal and professional data at risk of being compromised. Sarah Peracha, founder of ChampChic, NeuroMarketer, shares her personal experiences with cyber threats in the playbook and provides practical steps for millennials to protect their professional profiles.

Key features of the cybersecurity playbook:

1. Securing LinkedIn Accounts:

The manual emphasizes the importance of enabling two-factor authentication (2FA), managing privacy settings to limit access to personal data, and carefully vetting connection requests to prioritize trusted networks

2. Device and communications protection:

The manual highlights the need to keep devices up to date with security patches, use encrypted email services like ProtonMail for secure communications, and rely on VPNs (virtual private networks) when using public Wi-Fi to protect data.

3. Dealing with account compromise:

The manual advises users to immediately report any LinkedIn account breach through the LinkedIn Help Center, follow established security protocols to regain access, and implement enhanced security measures to prevent future incidents.

4. Maintaining mental well-being:

Take breaks from social media when you’re overwhelmed by cybersecurity challenges.

Seek support from friends, family, or mental health professionals if needed.

Focus on rebuilding and protecting networks after cyber incident recovery.

A proactive approach to cybersecurity for millennials

Sarah Peracha highlights the need for a proactive approach to digital security. As millennials and Gen Z increasingly dominate the professional landscape, using LinkedIn for networking has exposed them to cyber threats such as hacking, phishing and data theft. This handbook is designed to help you defend against these threats while preserving your mental health in a connected but risky environment.

“LinkedIn is a powerful platform for professional growth, but its popularity makes it a target for cybercriminals,” said Sarah Peracha. “This playbook gives millennials the tools to protect their profiles and manage the stress associated with protecting their digital lives.”

Building resilience in the digital space

The manual also recommends that young professionals diversify their networks by using secure platforms like Slack and WhatsApp for team collaboration. Staying up to date on the latest cybersecurity trends and leveraging trusted resources like the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) will help ensure stronger protection of digital identities.
