Safe travels— cyber edition.
Locking up your office for your hard-earned vacation? CEO Jon Lober offers his top tips for more secure travel.
- Secure your connections. Use a VPN to keep your online activity safe from prying eyes.
- Update your devices. Make sure you have the latest security patches installed.
- Remember your passwords. Make strong, unique passwords and use 2FA for best protection.
- Beware phishing attempts. Be skeptical of offers that seem to good to be true.
- Keep an eye on your devices. If you need to leave a device behind, lock it in the hotel safe.
- Keep your travel plans to yourself. Share your vacation pictures after you return.
- Avoid public computers. These computers are often lax on security making you an easy target for cybercrime.
Just a quick refresher— what is email phishing? Phishing is a type of cyberattack where attackers try to trick you into giving away sensitive information—like passwords, credit card numbers, or even access to your business’s network— by pretending to be someone you trust . These emails often look like they’re from legitimate companies, like your bank, a well-known retailer, or even someone within your own organization. The goal? To get you to click on a malicious link or download an attachment that can compromise your system. Sometimes, the emails are obvious fakes, but other times, they can be extremely convincing, making it crucial to stay vigilant.
Looking for weak points could save your business.
