October is National Cybersecurity Awareness Month!

Did you know?

  • 43% of cyber-attacks target small businesses.

Here’s how you can be Cyber Savvy:

  1. Use long, strong passphrases or passwords and different passwords for different programs and devices. See last month’s Advisor for password tips.
  2. Watch out for phishing emails and text messages!
  3. Keep practice software and antivirus software up to date. Most software can automatically update. Check your settings.
