Education is key to knowing threats, and understanding how we can avoid them. October is National Cyber Security Awareness Month, with the message that the responsibility of security belongs to all of us. The FBI published a good article on this topic, listing some superb tips on keeping our computers and electronic devices safe. These include updating antivirus software, enabling automated patches for your OS,using common sense when opening e-mail attachments or accessing URLs, using strong passwords, and keeping your personal information personal. As is the common theme by now, these are some basic security steps we can all follow to help maintain security.
I am also very happy to know that the U.S. government is making cyber security a top priority. Collaboration with the various security agencies throughout the United States (federal, state, and local), along with crime centers at Interpol and
Europol is a great step toward fully understanding this threat and preparing to overcoming it.
