Cybersecurity

Cybersecurity in the workplace is the practice of safeguarding an organization’s digital systems, networks, and data from unauthorized access, theft, or damage. It relies on a strategic blend of technology, policies, and employee training to prevent, detect, and respond to threats such as phishing, malware, and data breaches. The ultimate goal is to uphold the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of sensitive information—while maintaining trust with participants, vendors, and partners.

Some practices that reduce your digital risk

Use strong passwords: At least 12 characters, 16 - 24 is recommended.Keep software updated: When a restart is needed for update, use restart computer. Be cautious online: Be suspicious of unsolicited emails, attachments, and downloads. Do not click on suspicious links or share personal information in response to requests. Secure your home networks: Secure your home Wi-Fi network with a strong password and consider using a firewall. Avoid using public USB ports to charge devices.
