It's almost time to shut down your computer (for some of us, anyway) and enjoy some well-deserved time off. While you're recharging your own batteries and slowing down, scammers and cybercriminals are unfortunately at work.
We know that summer can be a period where security risks increase, so we've put together 5 simple but important security tips to go over with your colleagues before the holidays. So you can avoid headaches when you get back!
🏄Surf safely
Avoid open networks (Wi-Fi). Connect with VPN or use your mobile data to protect your connection.
🔃Updates
Keeping your devices up to date is just as important as staying hydrated in the heat. Make sure your computer, tablet, and phone have the latest software updates installed.
🔐Backup
Make sure to back up your files locally or in the cloud and that the backup is running. This is to avoid losing documents, images or other files.
🛟A lifesaver
Protect your accounts with two-factor authentication (2FA). A simple but powerful protection. Also replace old passwords like Sommar25! with something stronger.
🧑🤝👩Inform colleagues
Remind each other to be vigilant. During the summer, the number of scams and phishing increases. Discuss how you handle suspicious emails and links.
Psst! Enable ”Find My Device” on your phone and computer, so you can quickly track down your lost device if it goes astray.
