October is National Cyber Security Awareness Month. It is held to encourage people to do their part to make their online lives safe and secure.
While it is easy to defer online risk as a consumer problem, it really is just as much a problem at work… if not more.
Cybersecurity begins with STOP. THINK. CONNECT. These three simple acts are the starting point for staying safer and more secure online.
- STOP: Before you use the Internet, take time to understand the risks and learn how to spot potential problems.
- THINK: Take a moment to be certain the path ahead is clear. Watch for warning signs and consider how your online actions could impact your safety or your family’s.
- CONNECT: Enjoy the Internet with greater confidence, knowing you’ve taken the right steps to safeguard yourself and your computer.
While it would seem simple, it’s hard to believe in this day and age this simple thinking isn’t observed in the workplace.
