Stay alert to keep cyber safe

Stay Cyber Aware. Stay Cyber Safe.

In today's digital world, cybersecurity is everyone's responsibility. As we end Cybersecurity Awareness month, make it a habit to think before you click or share unusual messages online or through text. Whether you're checking email, paying bills online, or using social media, your actions matter.

Why It Matters

Cyber threats are constantly evolving. From phishing scams to identity theft, bad actors are always looking for ways to exploit vulnerabilities. But with a few simple habits, you can dramatically reduce your risk.

Top Three Tips to Stay Safe Online

Think Before You Click
Don't open suspicious links or attachments - especially from unknown senders. When in doubt, throw it out.

Use Strong, Unique Passwords
Create complex passwords and use a password manager to keep track. Avoid reusing the same password across multiple sites.

Enable Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)
MFA adds an extra layer of security by requiring a second form of verification -such as a code sent to your phone.
