At Layer 2 Computers, we’re all about making technology work for you, but we also want to make sure you’re safe while using it. That's why we're jumping into Cybersecurity Awareness Month this October to keep you informed about online safety and help reduce your cyber risks.
Technology is everywhere—from our phones to our home devices, work setups, and more. And with that tech comes the need to stay ahead of the bad guys trying to mess with your online life. This year’s Cybersecurity Awareness Month theme is Secure Our World, and we’re here to help you do just that!
Throughout the month, we’ll be sharing easy-to-follow tips and tricks to help you and your business stay safe online. Here are four simple things you can start doing today:
- Use a Password Manager: Ditch the sticky notes and password notebooks. A password manager makes it easy to create and keep track of strong passwords without the hassle.
- Turn on Multifactor Authentication (MFA): Adding that extra step to log in to your accounts makes it way harder for the wrong people to get in.
- Watch for Phishing Scams: Cybercriminals are getting sneakier, but recognizing suspicious emails or texts can save you from a lot of trouble. If it feels off, report it.
- Keep Your Software Updated: Those update reminders aren't just a nuisance—they’re a way to keep your devices safe. Turn on automatic updates so you’re always protected.
Layer 2 Computers will be sharing more info throughout the month to help you keep your tech secure. We know how vital it is to stay informed and take action to protect ourselves and our loved ones.
