Here’s what we learned: 1️⃣ Don’t Ignore Software Updates: Staying up-to-date isn’t just about new features—it’s about closing critical security gaps. 2️⃣ Data Backups Are a Must: From email to SaaS apps, backups are often misunderstood. Just because it’s “in the cloud” doesn’t mean it’s backed up! 3️⃣ Protect Your Personal Info: Oversharing can lead to identity theft, and cybercriminals love using your personal details to access accounts. 4️⃣ Avoid Public Wi-Fi for Sensitive Transactions: Without a secure connection (like a VPN), public Wi-Fi can be a cybercrime hotspot. 🔮 Coming Soon: Our Zero Trust Webinar: “Cybersecurity for Holiday Travel: Building a Zero Trust Mindset” is happening on December 6th! Learn how a Zero Trust approach can protect your business and personal life from evolving threats while you travel this holiday season. ➡️ What’s the most surprising thing you learned this month?

Whether it’s posting on social media, signing up for online services, or filling out forms, every bit of personal information you share is like leaving breadcrumbs for cybercriminals. 🥖🕵️ 🔹 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗼𝗻 𝗢𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗠𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲𝘀 · 📅 Birthdates, Addresses, and Phone Numbers: If you’re sharing these publicly, you’re giving cybercriminals all the ingredients they need for identity theft. · 🐱 Pet Names and Hobbies: These are often used in security questions. The more you share, the easier it is for someone to guess their way into your accounts. · 📷 Photos with Too Much Detail: Sharing photos that show your home, license plate, or even what’s in the background can reveal more than you intended. ⚠️ 𝗕𝗲 𝗠𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗳𝘂𝗹 𝗔𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗣𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗪𝗵𝗼 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗦𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗜𝘁 𝗪𝗶𝘁𝗵 Not every friend request is legit, and not every “fun” quiz on social media is harmless! Always question why someone needs your info and how it’s going to be used. ➡️ Want to learn more about how to protect your personal information online?

Or maybe you accidentally delete all those treasured photos from your phone. 😱 Now what?

Or are you just crossing your fingers and hoping it’s “safe”? 🤞 🔹 𝗗𝗼𝗻’𝘁 𝗟𝗲𝘁 𝗧𝗵𝗲𝘀𝗲 𝗠𝘆𝘁𝗵𝘀 𝗛𝗮𝘂𝗻𝘁 𝗬𝗼𝘂 · 📧 Email: It’s not really backed up; it’s just highly available. If something happens (like an accidental wipe or hack), you could lose access for good! · 📱 Mobiles and Tablets: Photos, notes, and contacts can disappear in an instant if your device is lost or damaged. · 🧑💻 SaaS Apps: Same story! Just because your data is on a cloud app doesn’t mean it’s safe from a cyber attack or a catastrophic failure. 🛡️ Cybersecurity Awareness Month is the perfect time to rethink your backup strategy! Take stock of where you keep your data, set up regular backups, and make sure you have a reliable recovery plan in place. The last thing you want is to realize your “backup” was never really there. 😳 ➡️ Need help figuring out a solid backup plan?

We’ve all been there—sometimes you just gotta get stuff done! Let us know in the comments if you’ve taken the risk! ⬇️ During Cybersecurity Awareness Month, it’s important to remind ourselves that public Wi-Fi is like using a communal toothbrush 🪥—it may seem fine in a pinch, but you don’t really know where it’s been (or who’s been snooping). 😬 Hackers can easily intercept your data, leaving your sensitive information up for grabs! 💳💀 ⚠️ Pro Tip: If you absolutely have to use public Wi-Fi, avoid accessing sensitive info, like your bank account or work emails. 🔑 Use a VPN (Virtual Private Network) to create a secure connection, and if that’s not possible, stick to browsing cat videos. 🐱 📵 Better Option? Use your mobile data when dealing with important stuff or set up a secure hotspot if you’re in a pinch. ➡️ Want to learn more about protecting your data on the go?
