October is Cybersecurity Awareness Month, a global effort to help everyone stay safe and secure whenever and however they connect.
This month, the Division of Information Technology (IT) will highlight four key habits that make a big difference in protecting your accounts and information:
- Using strong passwords and a password manager
- Turning on multifactor authentication
- Updating software regularly
- Recognizing and reporting phishing scams
Cybersecurity news often focuses on major data breaches and hackers, which can feel overwhelming. But the truth is, small steps add up. Practicing just a few basics can protect you, your family and K-State from online threats.
Throughout October, IT will share practical tips, along with posts on Twitter (@kstateITservice), to help you strengthen your digital security. Knowledge is power, and when we all take proactive steps, our entire community becomes more secure.
