June 9, 2023 - Summer is not a time to take a break from cyber safety. Instead, strengthen the measures you take to keep your data safe on your devices by doing the following:
Strengthen passwords: Keeping strong unique passwords for your accounts is key to keeping things secure, especially while on the go. It might seem daunting trying to remember so many, but it’s better than having credentials or data stolen due to one that is weak, common or repeated among accounts.
Add multifactor authentication: To thwart criminals who find ways around strong passwords, setting up multifactor authentication can help ensure the person logging in is you and only you.
Use virtual private networks: Use a VPN on devices that share data or access the internet to help hide location, protect identity and encrypt data.
