October is Cybersecurity Awareness Month

Cybersecurity is essential in today’s digital world. As we increasingly rely on the internet for everything from banking to socializing, protecting our personal information has never been more important. Cybercriminals are always on the lookout for vulnerabilities, and a single breach can lead to identity theft, financial loss, and a compromised digital life.

October is Cybersecurity Awareness Month, the perfect time to take proactive steps to safeguard your online presence. Start by updating your passwords, making sure they are strong and unique for each account.  Enable two-factor authentication (2FA) wherever possible for an extra layer of security. Be wary of phishing attempts – don’t click on suspicious links or provide personal information in response to unsolicited emails or messages.

It’s up to each of us to do our part to stay diligent to keep ourselves safe online.
