Cybersecurity requires the vigilance of everyone to keep data secure.
Creating, storing and remembering passwords can be a pain for all of us online, but the truth is that passwords are your first line of defense against cybercriminals and data breaches.
Phishing is a fraudulent email based attack disguised as a legitimate communication. The goal of the attacker is to trick the recipient into responding by clicking on a link, opening an attachment, or directly giving up account credentials, i.e. username and password.
Always keep your software updated when updates becomes available and don’t delay. These updates fix general software problems and provide new security patches where criminals might get in.
With every social media account you sign up for, every picture you post, and status you update, you are sharing information about yourself with the world.
With our homes, schools, and business more connected than ever, it’s vital to secure all your devices.
