October is National Cybersecurity Awareness Month, an annual campaign to raise awareness about cyber security through public resources.

These are tips for cybersecurity for all digital users.

  • Login Lock Down
    • Usernames and passwords are not enough protection for your information. Strengthen online accounts and use strong authentication tools whenever offered.
  • Clean Machine
    • Keep your personal computer software up to date and on internet-connected devices.
  • When In Doubt, Throw It Out
    • If any email looks suspicious, even if you think you know the source, its best to delete it or mark as junk.
  • Back It Up
    • Protect all your valuables by making an electronic copy and storing safely.
  • Own Your Own Presence
    • Set privacy and security settings on your personal pages to your comfort level.
  • Post With Care
    • Think before you post about yourself or others online. Ask yourself: What does this post reveal? Who might see it? How might it affect others?
  • Protect Personal Information Like Money
    • Information relating to you is like money – valuable and confidential. Be careful whom you share your information with.
