2FA, MFA, VPN – Are You Safe From Hackers?
It’s National Cybersecurity Awareness Month and changing your passwords once a year is no longer enough to stay safe online. Like you, I love the convenience of getting things done with just a few clicks. But every time you create a new profile or even use “guest checkout” you’re giving the bad guys another chance to steal your info – and they are only getting smarter.
Thankfully, there are lots of ways to protect yourself digitally. We have many resources that break down how to do this at the individual level, for your website, and for your business. Make sure you Dot Your I’s and Cross Your T’s by reviewing these resources about cybersecurity, update any outdated passwords, and set-up multi-step log-ins.
