Cybersecurity Tips

1. Practice safe shopping habits online

Whether you’re shopping for yourself or ordering some new office furniture — shop only on secure, reputable websites. Look for customer reviews and ratings to gauge the legitimacy of the site. Use credit cards when possible, as they offer better fraud protection compared to debit cards or direct bank transfers. And never buy items via Facebook links!

2. Regularly update your privacy settings

Social media platforms and other online services frequently update their privacy policies and settings. Make it a habit to check these settings regularly to ensure your information remains private and is shared only with your intended audience.

3. Enable login notifications

Many services offer the option to receive notifications for new logins from unknown devices or locations. Turn on these alerts to spot unauthorized access attempts the second they happen, allowing you to take swift action.
