Did you know that October is National Cyber Security Month? It’s a great time to review some of the most effective ways to safeguard our personal information, both at home and in the office.
We’re all connected to the Internet – at home, school, work, and in the marketplace. Here are three of the most effective ways to protect yourself from cyber crime:
Tip #1: Take basic precautions, such as being especially cautious about clicking links in e-mails.
Tip #2: Set strong passwords. And be sure to password protect all devices, including smartphones and tablets.
Tip #3: Keep operating systems, Internet browsers, and other software programs up to date by installing updates. Install an email management system to filter out spam, and another to help protect against malware and viruses.
