January 2019 Cyber Security Awareness Newsletter:

Current State of Mobile:
Today, mobile refers to a massive web of connected devices (the Internet of Things, or IoT). It isn't about simply having access while on-the-go. It's about having control of nearly everything from the convenience of a smart device that fits in your pocket or straps to your wrist.  Unfortunately, lost in this world of smart connections is the prioritization of security. New technology rarely comes stocked with features that improve resistance to cybercrime. Quite the opposite, in fact.

In this issue, we address the current state of mobile and subsequent concerns of both professional and personal security. We cover how to secure mobile devices, discuss the price of convenience, and lay out a field guide to help keep remote workers safe.

Scavenger Hunt Questions (and Answers):
1.     To display the full URL of a link on a mobile device, you can do this. (long-press or press and hold the link)
2.     These two things need to be changed immediately after booting up new devices. (Username and password)
3.     Never connect to public WiFi without using this. (a VPN or virtual private network)
4.     You can avoid automatically connecting to a spoofed network by disabling what? (auto-connect)
5.     Social engineers sometimes leave these laying around in busy areas with hopes that someone will find and access them. (USB flash drives)
