CERT Monthly Safety Tips

Here are some ways to improve your digital security:

Install software updates on all devices when you get notified – they contain the latest security patches.
Use strong passwords; avoid using the same one repeatedly; use a password manager to store them.
When possible, add 2-factor (TFA) or multi-factor (MFA) authentication to your accounts.
Don’t click on any unfamiliar emails, texts, links, messages, or attachments. These could be phishing or smishing scams!
Don’t share any personal information on social media!
Consider using a VPN (Virtual Private Network) instead of public Wi-Fi to protect your privacy by encrypting internet traffic and keeping your IP
address anonymous.
