Phishing is a type of cyber attack where attackers disguise themselves as
trustworthy entities to deceive people into providing sensitive information
like passwords and credit card numbers. Common signs include suspicious
sender addresses and urgent or threatening language in emails or messages.
Strong passwords protect accounts from unauthorized access and reduce the
risk of data breaches. A strong password typically includes a mix of upper
and lower case letters, numbers, and special characters, and is at least 12
characters long.
Two-factor authentication adds an extra layer of security by requiring two
forms of identification before granting access to an account. It's important
because it significantly lowers the risk of unauthorized access even if a
password is compromised.
Immediately report the incident to your cybersecurity or IT department.
Then, change your passwords for all affected accounts to prevent further
unauthorized access.
Malware is malicious software designed to harm or exploit any programmable
device or network. Malware can steal data, damage software and hardware, and
can even take control of a device.
Regular updates help patch security vulnerabilities, enhance functionality,
and protect data by keeping software and systems safe from new types of
cyber threats.
Always encrypt sensitive information before sharing it and ensure that
access to such information is restricted to authorized personnel only.
Social engineering involves manipulating individuals into breaking security
procedures to gain unauthorized access to systems or data. Protection
measures include being skeptical of unsolicited calls or emails, and
verifying the identity of the requester through independent channels.
Cybersecurity is vital for protecting organizational assets, and a single
vulnerability—like a compromised password—can jeopardize the entire network.
Every employee must adhere to security policies and practices to protect
their and the organization's data.
A VPN, or Virtual Private Network, creates a secure connection over the
internet. Organizations use VPNs to protect sensitive data transmission,
especially when employees access corporate resources remotely.
