This month, we’re participating in National Cyber Security Awareness Month to help ensure all of our advisors have the resources for a safe and secure online experience. Now is the perfect time to review and improve your online security.

PBS Nova Labs Cybersecurity Lab – A fun, interactive game that can help you learn how to be more secure online.

Here are a few other ideas to get you started:

USE A PASSWORD VAULT

Store your passwords securely and access them when you need them. This will help to prevent from using the same password on multiple sites, a big no no!

MIX IT UP

Strengthen your security by generating unique non-guessable passwords using a password generator.

UPDATE PASSWORDS

Create a password policy and prompt all the users in your office to update passwords frequently.

USE WHAT YOU HAVE

Add another layer of security by requiring a second piece of information to access certain sites using two-factor authentication.
