October is Cybersecurity Awareness Month!

Becoming a victim to cyber threats can be alarming, but there are four simple things you can do to protect you and your family from fraud and cyber attacks:

  1. Recognize and report phishing
  2. Use strong passwords
  3. Turn on multifactor authentication
  4. Update software

Below, we’ll dive a little deeper into each of these essential tips, featuring trusted resources and videos from the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA). Together, we can enhance our cybersecurity awareness and stay safe online all year long!

Recognize and Report Phishing

Phishing is a type of cyber attack where an attacker tries to trick individuals into providing sensitive information. This is typically done by impersonating a trustworthy source, often through emails, messages, or websites that look legitimate. Learn to recognize the signs, report, and delete phishing scams.

Use Strong Passwords

Using strong passwords is one of the easiest ways to protect your data. The best passwords are long, random, and unique to each account. Remembering each unique password can be difficult, but password managers are tools you can use to help!

Turn on Multifactor Authentication (MFA)

MFA is your second line of defense. Enabling MFA for each account or app allows you to add an extra layer of security by confirming your identity. Even if hackers manage to crack your password, they won’t be able to get past the MFA. It only takes a few extra moments, but it significantly enhances your protection!

Update Software

Many updates are designed to fix security vulnerabilities in software. You can keep your software up to date by watching for notifications, installing updates as soon as possible, or enabling automatic updates. By doing this, you’ll ensure that your software always has the latest security features and protections.
