Smart Safety: National Cybersecurity Awareness Month

 

Adam Levin, Founder of CyberScout says "Follow the 3Ms to protect your identity and finances, especially during National Cybersecurity Awareness month. Minimize your risk of exposure, monitor your accounts and your identity so you know as quickly as possible if you have an issue and manage the damage.  Reduce your attackable surface by never clicking on suspicious links or attachments, using long and strong passwords that you don’t share across your universe of accounts and websites, enabling two factor authentication, avoiding public Wifi, not downloading apps from anywhere other than legitimate app stores, securing your mobile and internet-of-things devices with up-to-date security software and unique passwords, and limiting oversharing on social media. Freeze your credit, it’s now free."
