STAYING SAFE
ONLINE: CYBERSECURITY TIPS INTRODUCTION TO CYBER SAFETY
Cyber safety and security can
be defined as the practice of defending our computers, servers, mobile devices, electronic systems, and any kind of network, from malicious attacks initiated by antisocial groups and organisations. USE STRONG PASSWORDS
Creating strong passwords is
your first line of defense. Combine letters, numbers, and special characters. Avoid using easily guessable information like birthdays. Remember to change your passwords regularly and consider using a password manager for added security. BEWARE OF PHISHING SCAMS
Phishing scams can trick you
into revealing sensitive information. Always check the sender's email address and look for spelling errors in messages. If something seems off, don't click on links. Trust your instincts and verify before acting. Keep Software Updated
Regularly updating your software,
apps, and operating system is crucial for security. Updates often include patches that fix vulnerabilities. Enable automatic updates whenever possible to ensure you’re always protected against the latest threats. USE SECURE CONNECTIONS
When browsing the web,
make sure you use secure connections. Look for URLs that begin with HTTPS rather than HTTP. Avoid using public Wi-Fi for sensitive transactions. Consider using a VPN to encrypt your internet connection. CONCLUSION: STAY VIGILANT
In conclusion, staying safe online requires awareness
and proactive measures. By following these cybersecurity tips, you can significantly reduce your risk of falling victim to online threats. Remember, the internet can be a fun place, but safety should always come first! Thanks! Do you have any questions?
