Now that you have updated your passwords and started using a password manager after reading last week’s post, here’s a few more ways to keep safe online,
📅 Keep your system up to date – may software updates, especially operating system updates contain bug fixes or security fixes and patches. These should be done as soon as possible. This includes your phone!
🐞 Antivirus protection – while many systems have built in antivirus protection these days, these should also be kept up to date. Viruses, malware and ransomware are still the most common causes of computer system breaches.
🔗 Secure your network – Use a firewall to keep out unwanted connections, and also block unwanted applications from reaching the internet. Use a VPN to guard your online presence, and filter unwanted connections.
