identity thieves, and foreign governments attempting to work their way in.

Few comments:

Section 4 - Get smart about passwords
Best to use a dedicated password manager and not your internet browser.

Section 9 - Use a firewall
Best to use a discrete hardware firewall device instead of or in addition to OS firewall.

Section 15 - Make a backup plan
Check cloud providers' security and privacy features before committing to service.
