Did You Know October is Cybersecurity Awareness Month?
The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Agency (CISA) and the National Cybersecurity Alliance are the cosponsors. The theme (somewhat ironically) is “Secure Our World.” To secure your world, they offer four primary tips:
1Use strong passwords
Turn on MFA (multifactor authentication)
Recognize and report phishing
Keep systems and software up to date and fully patched
Simple to type, harder to execute. Additional advice is to implement a training program in cybersecurity. Spoofs, hacks, and frauds are rampant on the internet, and major data thefts – involving thousands of records – are reported on virtually a weekly basis. You can’t be too careful.
