Cybersecurity

Enable multi-factor authentication.

Enable account alerts for changes to your profile, address, account access and money movement.

Ensure you maintain separate email accounts for work, personal, and other types of important communications.

Leverage password-less login methods, such as biometrics, one-time passwords (OTP), push notifications and more, to reduce the risk of weak or previously compromised passwords.

Maintain strong password practices including varied characters, special symbols, length of 10 or more characters.

Do not reuse them across applications or services, especially for accounts with sensitive information or functions.

Ensure all devices have passwords by enabling lock screens or using biometrics where available.

Ensure you keep software and applications updated.

Be aware of privacy settings and application permissions.

Ensure you use Find My or another device locator application to manage lost devices and wipe information.

Avoid using public charging stations.

Be aware of your social media and online sharing as bad actors will potentially use the information to try to manipulate or deceive you.

Avoid connecting to public Wi-Fi networks since they often lack encryption.

Establish distinct networks at home - one for yourself and separate ones for guests.

Update your wireless network's default password, and activate your router's WPA2 encryption and firewall.

Choose the "Do not broadcast" option for your primary network's name (SSID) in your router software, and refrain from using default router names or passwords.

Be cautious when interacting with communications from unknown senders (e.g., emails, texts, phone calls, physical mail etc.)

Never share sensitive information with unknown senders or unprompted requests.

Use other means of communication to validate suspicious requests from known or trusted senders.
