As we close out our cyber security series let’s recap:
We all play a part in cyber security. It is not just the responsibility of businesses. If you own a computer, phone, or have smart devices in your home, you should be concerned with cyber security just as much as a business. Cyber attacks are very costly but not just in the sense of money. A cyber attack could cause you to lose precious memories that are often never recoverable.
Helping prevent cyber attacks involve simple things such as:
• Creating strong passwords and changing them regularly
• Updating your computer and other software when prompted, to close security gaps
• Avoiding plugging in random flash drives and charging cables as they may contain malicious code
• Being aware when people are phishing for your information
• Being cautious about the information we put on social media.
In 2022, let’s take cyber security seriously and realize that is everyone’s responsibility. Be safe out there!
