Cyber Security & Why “Stay Safe in October”

Posted by Upright Team

This October marks the 6th Annual National Cybersecurity Awareness Month. Yep, it’s a mouthful.

But it definitely passes the “National ___ Month” test for a reason: a topic so ever-present in American lives but never noted enough.

Make sure your email, Internet browser and network settings support your security: use PayPal for transactions, disable unknown pop-ups, sign out of “authenticated sessions” and don’t automatically download all email attachments.
