October is Cybersecurity Awareness Month
There are daily actions to reduce risks when online and using connected devices. Cyber threats don’t take time off. As the federal lead for Cybersecurity Awareness Month and the nation’s cyber defense agency, the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, or CISA, urges all U.S. small and medium businesses and state, local, tribal, and territorial governments to take one action today to improve their cybersecurity. Below are just a few ways to reduce your cyber risk.
- Limit the personal information you share online. Change privacy settings and do not use location features.
- Keep software applications and operating systems up-to-date.
- Create strong passwords by using upper and lower case letters, numbers and special characters. Use a password manager and two methods of verification.
- Watch for suspicious activity that asks you to do something right away, offers something that sounds too good to be true, or needs your personal information. Think before you click. When in doubt, do NOT click.
- Protect your home and/or business using a secure Internet connection and Wi-Fi network, and change passwords regularly.
