HELLO! FROM THE PRIVACY & INFORMATION SECURITY DEPARTMENT
Happy National Cybersecurity Awareness Month!
In this edition, we visit the official website of the Department of Homeland Security. This website is a collaborative effort between government and industry to raise awareness about the importance of cybersecurity and to ensure that all users of technology have the resources they need to be safer and more secure online.
Businesses face significant financial loss when a cyber attack occurs. Cybercriminals often rely on human error-employees failing to install patches or clicking on malicious links to gain access to systems. Please help to keep data and capital safe and secure.
With every social media account you sign up for, every picture you post, and status you update, you are sharing information about yourself to the world. How can you be proactive to stay safe online?
The Internet touches almost all aspects of our daily lives. These activities require you to provide personally identifiable information (PII) such as your name, date of birth, account numbers and other information. Be cybersmart when sharing personal information.
Internet of Things (IoT) or smart devices refers to any object or device that is connected to the Internet. This set of "things" send and receive data, and includes cars, appliances, smart watches, home security and more.
