The increase in cyber threats during the holiday season doesn’t mean you have to compromise your security. With some simple precautions and support from a trusted cybersecurity partner, you can protect both your personal data and your business.
Here’s how to stay secure this season.
Practical Cyber Safety Tips
- Shop Using Secure Devices and Networks Always ensure your devices have the latest updates installed and are connected to trusted networks. Avoid public Wi-Fi for online transactions; instead, use your home network or mobile data for added security.
- Enable Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) If you save payment information online, enable MFA for an additional layer of security. This step can significantly reduce the risk of unauthorised access to your accounts.
- Use Trusted Sellers Stick to well-known, reputable businesses. Check their return policies, privacy policies, and ensure their payment platforms are secure.
- Watch for Delivery Scams Cybercriminals often send fake delivery notifications to trick you into providing personal information or downloading malware. Always verify links before clicking.
- Be Wary of Fake Websites Fake websites and social media profiles are a common tactic. Double-check URLs, research the seller, and think twice before entering personal information.
