In 2004, the President of the United States and Congress declared every October National Cyber Security Awareness Month. Cyber Security can help secure your confidential information. Below are several steps individuals can take to protect themselves online from potential threats.
1. Think before you click – if a link comes from an unknown email or looks a little off, do not respond or act on it, and instead report it to Kelley’s IT department.
2. Update your software – if you see any software updates available, act promptly.
3. Use strong passwords- Using long and complex passwords greatly decreases the chances of someone being able to hack your digital platforms.
4. Enable multi-factor authentication- having more than just one password makes it easier to protect online accounts.
