Tip #7: Security Awareness Training should be ongoing
Cybersecurity threats are constantly evolving as cybercriminals continuously learn new ways to trick their victims. Security training must be ongoing to keep employees up to date with threats, scams, and best practices. #CybersecurityAwarenessMonth

Tip #6: Don’t overshare on social media
It’s fun to share on social media networks, but beware. Cybercriminals can learn a lot about their victims on social media, such as where you went to school, your pet’s name, and more, and can use that information for social engineering. #CybersecurityAwarenessMonth

Tip #5: Ensure you understand all policies and procedures
Understanding your organization’s policies and procedures is an essential part of your position. Policies help you understand what’s acceptable behavior while procedures help ensure your organization has consistent steps to follow when necessary. #CybersecurityAwarenessMonth

Tip #4: Backup your data
Hackers aren’t always interested in stealing your data. In some instances, encrypting or erasing your data is their end-goal. Make sure you have data backups at work and at home, so you don’t lose important files. #CybersecurityAwarenessMonth

Tip #3: Keep up with updates
Software updates are often issued to fix security flaws that could be exploited by a malicious actor. Updates can also provide new or enhanced features, and more! Keep up with updates for your security and to improve your user experience! #CybersecurityAwarenessMonth

Tip #2: Use multi-factor authentication (MFA)
If a cybercriminal gets their hands on your password, multi-factor authentication (MFA) can prevent them from successfully logging into your account! MFA requires an additional form of verification outside of your password to help protect you. #CybersecurityAwarenessMonth
