  End users of remote computing systems are frequently not aware of basic ways
in which they could enhance protection against cyber-threats and attacks. In
this paper, we discuss specific techniques to help and train users to improve
cybersecurity when using such systems. To explain the rationale behind these
techniques, we go into some depth explaining possible threats in the context of
using remote, shared computing resources. Although some of the details of these
prescriptions and recommendations apply to specific use cases when connecting
to remote servers, such as a supercomputer, cluster, or Linux workstation, the
main concepts and ideas can be applied to a wider spectrum of cases.
