Keeping our assets safe and making cybersecurity is a top priority.
Here are five things you can do to keep our systems safe:
Don’t open emails from people you don’t recognize. Double check emails from people you know that seem out of character, have strange grammar or otherwise seem off in some way.
Create a strong password and keep it to yourself.
Carefully look at websites you visit. Malicious sites often look just like the legitimate versions, with a slightly different website address or other small differences like misspelling.
Be wary of provocative subject lines, like contests, breaking “news” and other “click bait.”
Don't click on links, even in text messages, from phone numbers and sources you don't recognize.

Thank you for making cybersecurity a top priority!
