Cybersecurity Awareness
Cyber threats are becoming more sophisticated, targeting not only organizations but also families and individuals. Staying secure means being intentional about both our digital and physical habits.
Here’s how to stay prepared:
Digital/Online Security
- Use multi-factor authentication and strong, unique passwords.
- Keep your devices and software updated and patched.
- Back up important files to secure, encrypted storage.
Physical Security
- Lock or log off devices when unattended.
- Shred documents with personal information.
- Be mindful of where and how you discuss sensitive topics.
- Do not let someone tailgate behind you.
Cybersecurity is not just an IT issue, it's a daily discipline that protects our families, businesses, and communities. Awareness leads to prevention, and prevention keeps us safe.
Stay Vigilant!!
