Understanding the Relationship Between Trust and Faith in Micro-Enterprises to Cyber Hygiene

Abstract

Cyber hygiene is a practice of maintaining the security and health of devices, networks, and data. It involves some guidelines to prevent cyberattacks, data breaches, and identity theft. Trust needs strong protection in the cyber system world. Cyber hygiene is essential for both individuals and organizations, as it can protect them from financial losses, reputational damage, legal consequences, physical harm, and identity theft. The term “cybersecurity” indicates vulnerabilities or other issues related to protecting personal data. Data must adhere to cyber ethics other than protection. Cyber hygiene thus gives us a notion of how trust issues in a cyber-world can be handled with better understanding of the level, volume, veracity, and the longevity of data present in cyberspace. This chapter is about finding a suitable quantitative relationship between cyber hygiene and policy of trust in micro enterprises along with different aspects of cyber hygiene problems and the possible pathways and remedies that could be taken for better functioning of these enterprises in cyber spaces.
