5 Tips to Reduce your Cybersecurity Risks

1. Secure your devices and accounts with a strong password or passphrase. Try adding in some punctuation and capital letters for added password strength, such as i-L0V_Civist@bA^k.
2. Protect your personal information by updating your devices to the latest security software, operating system, and web browser. Enable automatic updates to make sure your devices are always up-to-date.
3. If you don’t know the sender of an email or if something doesn’t seem right, don’t click on any links or attachments. Criminals may try to fool you with phishing emails.
4. Do not shop, bank, or conduct other sensitive activities while connected to public wifi as it is insecure.
5. Make sure online shopping sites are security-enabled by looking for the “https” in the site’s web address. If you do not see the “s” at the end of “http” it means the site is not encrypted.
