Why it's essential:

  • A cyberattack is when someone tries to access, damage, or mess with your information or computer systems without your permission. This could be to steal your data, demand money, or just cause trouble.

  • How do I keep my home network safe from hackers? Start by changing the default passwords on your router, use a strong and unique password, keep your router's firmware updated, and ensure your Wi-Fi is encrypted with WPA3.

  • Ransomware is a nasty type of malware that locks your files and demands a ransom to unlock them. To avoid this, keep your software updated, use trusted antivirus software, and regularly back up your important data.

  • Yes, if you use reputable providers who use strong security measures like encryption and multifactor authentication. Always check the security practices of your cloud service provider.

  • ​MFA is a security step that requires you to provide two or more pieces of verification to access your accounts. This could be a password and a code sent to your phone or a fingerprint scan, adding an extra layer of protection.

  • Phishing attempts usually have spelling mistakes, fake links, urgent requests for personal info, and email addresses that don't quite match. Always double-check suspicious emails before clicking any links or providing information.

  • A firewall is a security tool that monitors and controls your network traffic based on set rules. It acts like a barrier between your network and the outside world, blocking unauthorized access and keeping your data safe.

  • Regular software updates include security patches that fix known vulnerabilities. Keeping your software updated helps protect your systems from hackers who exploit these weaknesses.

  • Encryption turns your data into a code that only authorized people can read. It’s essential because it keeps your information private and secure, ensuring only the right people can access it.

  • A DDoS attack floods an online service with too much traffic, making it unavailable to real users. It's like a traffic jam that blocks access to your website or online services.

  • Be careful with requests for personal or business info, even if they seem legit. Always verify who is asking and don’t share confidential details without making sure it’s a genuine request.

  • Information security policies are guidelines your company sets to protect its information. They tell everyone how to handle, store, and protect sensitive info to reduce security risks.

  • IoT refers to devices connected to the internet that can share data, like smart thermostats or security cameras. Risks include these devices being hacked, which can lead to unauthorized access to your data or other systems.

  • Signs of malware include slow performance, weird pop-up windows, programs starting by themselves, or changes to your browser settings. Use antivirus software to scan and remove any malware.
