Cyber hygiene, a term originally derived from the public health literature in reference to personal hygiene and cleanliness, is currently best understood as a set of cybersecurity steps that should be taken to ensure safety and protection for users of computers and other technological devices. Despite the ubiquity of such devices and frequent calls for better cyber hygiene practices, there is little agreement on what practices constitute optimal cyber hygiene. In order to outline best practices for non-expert end-users, our team conducted a systematic literature review. Here, we report the initial results of this three-pronged analysis instituted to develop our own empirically grounded set of best practices for end-user cyber hygiene, and acknowledge lessons learned from this endeavour.
