October is National Cybersecurity Awareness Month
In today's digital world, many of us use multiple devices that are connected to the internet every day for personal and business use. As the amount of digital devices increases, so does the risk of cybersecurity threats. Since October is National Cybersecurity Awareness month, we are taking this opportunity to share these valuable reminders from Cisco.
What is Cybersecurity? Cybersecurity is protecting systems, networks, and programs from digital attacks. Cyber-attacks are usually aimed at accessing, changing, or destroying sensitive info. On an individual level, a cybersecurity attack can result in anything from identity theft to the loss of valuable data like family photos. On a larger scale, we all rely on critical infrastructure such as power plants, healthcare organizations and banking institutions. Keeping these types of organizations secure is crucial to keeping our society functioning. While MVEC takes the necessary steps and precautions to protect the company's data as well as our members' confidential information within the company's network, MVEC does not provide cybersecurity for our MVlink members' personal data on their own devices on their own network. It is up to you to understand the threats listed and do what you feel is necessary to protect your own devices and network.
