But what good does all of that tech do if you're not making the most of it? With a new year ahead, it's the perfect time to check out some new year's tech resolutions that will help keep you on track to hit your goals in 2022. Here are some of the top technology new year's resolutions that you should add to your list in 2022. --- ### Stay Protected![aerial photography of city during night time](https://images.unsplash.com/photo-1446776653964-20c1d3a81b06?ixlib=rb-1.2.1&ixid=MnwxMjA3fDB8MHxwaG90by1wYWdlfHx8fGVufDB8fHx8&auto=format&fit=crop&w=1000&q=80) With ransomware and cyber attacks hitting hard in 2021, it's more important than ever to make sure that every device is protected. From installing the latest updates to adding state-of-the-art cybersecurity software across your network, having complete security across your network is important - but it's only one piece of the puzzle. Knowing the telltale signs of cyberattacks and phishing scams helps you identify a threat as soon as it comes your way, helping you make the right choices to stay safe online. ### Build for the Future For businesses, investing in technology can be a tricky balance. [The Wall Street Journal](https://www.wsj.com/articles/the-many-ways-companies-waste-money-with-technology-spending-11615298419) reports that estimated worldwide IT spending hit $235 billion in 2020, but $70.5 billion of that was wasted on inefficient and outdated technology. Taking a proactive approach and building a larger technology strategy ensures that every investment is helping build for the future. Meeting today's needs is important, but ensuring that every purchase is a wise investment for tomorrow should be a top priority. ### ![turned on black and grey laptop computer](https://images.unsplash.com/photo-1504868584819-f8e8b4b6d7e3?ixlib=rb-1.2.1&ixid=MnwxMjA3fDB8MHxwaG90by1wYWdlfHx8fGVufDB8fHx8&auto=format&fit=crop&w=1000&q=80)Create Regular Backups While many technology partners like SeedSpark create daily data backups, it's always worth double-checking with your IT provider to make sure that you're completely covered. Backing up your data can be a lifesaver (and can literally save your business) when disaster strikes. From natural disasters and cyberattacks to simple mistakes that come with being human, data backups can help you quickly rebound and get back to work ASAP. ### Clean Out Your Inbox A recent [poll](https://wixx.com/2021/09/24/the-average-person-has-1602-unread-emails-story/) found that the average person has 1,602 unopened emails in their inbox. Zeroing out your email inbox ahead of the new year gives you a fresh start, letting you focus on new ventures and helping you stay focused without any distractions. While it may be a little time-consuming, sorting through your emails and moving the most important messages to their own folder is a great start to the new year. If you're feeling like a fast fix, Archiving - *not deleting* - all of your messages can clear out that inbox while keeping your past messages searchable if you need to look for a long-lost note or document. ### ![aluminum case Apple Watch](https://images.unsplash.com/photo-1557045136-50ed3874553c?ixlib=rb-1.2.1&ixid=MnwxMjA3fDB8MHxwaG90by1wYWdlfHx8fGVufDB8fHx8&auto=format&fit=crop&w=1000&q=80)Set Other Resolutions Up for Success While there are plenty of tech resolutions for your professional life, there are plenty of steps that you can take to make your personal resolutions a success! Whether you're hitting the gym, getting your diet back on track, or are trying to get better at time management, there are plenty of apps out there with free or low-cost subscriptions to help meet your goal.

This comprehensive resource is designed to empower organizations, IT professionals, and individuals with the knowledge and tools needed to navigate the complex world of cyber threats.   By [Patrick Kinsley](https://blog.seedspark.com/blog/author/patrick-kinsley) In: [Technology](https://blog.seedspark.com/blog/topic/technology) [**](https://blog.seedspark.com/blog/empowering-organizations-with-cisas-cybersecurity-awareness-month-2023-toolkit) - [**](https://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u=https://blog.seedspark.com/blog/four-essential-steps-to-enhance-your-online-safety&title=Four%20Essential%20Steps%20to%20Enhance%20Your%20Online%20Safety&description=Whether%20you're%20an%20individual%20looking%20to%20protect%20your%20personal%20data%20or%20an%20IT%20professional%20tasked%20with%20safeguarding%20company%20information,%20there%20are%20fundamental%20steps%20you%20can%20take%20to%20enhance%20online%20safety.) - [**](https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?source=https://blog.seedspark.com/blog/four-essential-steps-to-enhance-your-online-safety&text=Four%20Essential%20Steps%20to%20Enhance%20Your%20Online%20Safety%20-%20https://blog.seedspark.com/blog/four-essential-steps-to-enhance-your-online-safety) - [**](http://www.linkedin.com/shareArticle?mini=true&url=https://blog.seedspark.com/blog/four-essential-steps-to-enhance-your-online-safety&title=Four%20Essential%20Steps%20to%20Enhance%20Your%20Online%20Safety&summary=Whether%20you're%20an%20individual%20looking%20to%20protect%20your%20personal%20data%20or%20an%20IT%20professional%20tasked%20with%20safeguarding%20company%20information,%20there%20are%20fundamental%20steps%20you%20can%20take%20to%20enhance%20online%20safety.) ## [Four Essential Steps to Enhance Your Online Safety](https://blog.seedspark.com/blog/four-essential-steps-to-enhance-your-online-safety) As cyber threats continue to evolve, both individuals and businesses must be proactive in their approach to cybersecurity.
