Welcome to the Safer Connecting page —the place to learn what you can do to stay safer in cyberspace. Cybercriminals are sophisticated and relentless, but there are some simple things we can all do to reduce our personal risk significantly.

General Safety Tips to Remember

• Always keep your systems and devices updated—updates often include fixes for flaws that cybercriminals exploit.
• Be aware of what you share! Cybercriminals scour social media to learn about potential victims and the companies they work for.
• When in doubt, don’t click. If something seems too good to be true, if you get an email from someone you don’t know, or if something just seems off—don’t click on any links or open attachments.
• Use a password manager. Password management apps take the headache out of good password practices.
