As we grow more dependent upon technology, practicing better online security defense is imperative. These eight habits will help you recognize and counter threats to your digital safety and make you less vulnerable to cyber attacks.
Even if an email looks like it is from someone you know, take care with attachments.
When asked to provide private information, verify the identity of the requester even if it appears to be somebody you know.
Never share your passwords to anyone. Make them long, strong, and unique, and use multi-factor authentication.
- Use a password manager
- Use different passwords for different accounts
- Use different passwords for work and personal
- Do not let apps or websites remember your password
Keep a close eye on your personal belongings when you're in public places. When you're at work, secure your area and lock your computer before leaving your desk.
At home, automate software updates and restart your personal devices once a week to ensure updates are fully installed. Note: ITOps manages updates for CNC provided devices.
Store backups in a physically separate location from the originals and test them. For critical work files, use storage options provided by CNC's ITOps. For personal devices, save a backup on a separate drive (e.g., cloud or encrypted USB).
CNC employees should follow the approved retention policy that defines the period that records should be retained and when they should be destroyed.
Learn how to recognize suspected scams and other suspicious activities. At work, suspicious email should be reported through the “Report Phishing” button in Outlook. Report other cybersecurity concerns to the Service Desk.
