October is National Cyber Security Awareness Month. To keep your sensitive data safe, the National Cyber Security Alliance suggests keeping your internet devices’ software updated and using lengthy, unrecognisable passwords. A password manager application helps store and secure your unique passwords. Enable multi-factor authentication for further security and avoid clicking on unfamiliar links. They also suggest using secure WiFi connections and regularly storing data backups. Check your privacy settings and be mindful of what you post online.
