October is Cybersecurity Awareness Month, a global effort to help everyone stay safe and protected when using technology whenever and however you connect. This year’s focus is how to Make Life Difficult for Cybercriminals. There are five simple strategies that anyone can implement to Stay Safe Online:
• Use strong, long, unique passwords
• Create and store passwords with a password manager
• Enable MFA
• Scrutinize all in-bound messages, especially if they are unexpected and urgent
• Keep software and devices updated
Throughout the month of October, the Information Security Office (ISO) will be hosting both in-person and online events at Texas State University to engage, entertain, and encourage better digital security. Visit our website for more information on our event schedule.
