Cyber Security Needs your Help!

  1. The #1 way to help is by keeping your OS, devices, and applications updated. Take time to update everything, then reboot.
  2. Passwords remain an issue. Don't reuse the same password, change Default Passwords, don't use temporary weak passwords (e.g. Password#1), and use a Password Manager.
  3. The best protection against ransomware is solid backup strategy that is Ransomware Resistant.
  4. Review New Type of Social Engineering Attacks and Fake Invoice Phishing Scams to inoculate yourself against these techniques.
