Information Technology Awareness

Tip 1:

"Keep your passwords strong and unique by using a mix of upper and lower case letters, numbers, and symbols! A strong password is more difficult to guess and will help protect your accounts from being hacked."

Tip 2:

"Turn on two-factor authentication for an extra layer of security on your accounts. This requires you to enter a second form of identification, like a code sent to your phone, in addition to your password when logging in to your account."

Tip 3:

"Be careful what you download and only download from trusted sources. Downloading files from untrusted sources can put your device and data at risk of being infected with malware."

Tip 4:

"Keep your software and devices up to date with the latest security patches and updates. These updates often include important security fixes that help protect your device and data from being compromised."

Tip 5:

"Avoid using public Wi-Fi networks to conduct sensitive activities, like online banking or shopping. Public Wi-Fi networks are often unsecured, which means that anyone on the same network could potentially see what you're doing online. It's safer to use a secure, private network for these types of activities."

Tip 6:

“Never open WhatsApp images from unknown contacts as they may be viruses revealing your location.”

Tip 7:
