May 2019 Cyber Security Awareness Newsletter: Good Device Hygiene:
Like automobiles, buildings, and our own bodies, devices require a bit of maintenance. Ignoring simple actions, such as updating apps and deleting/organizing
files, not only leads to degraded performance, it also invites security risks. In this edition, we focus on those risks and highlight how they can be avoided both at work and at home. Scavenger Hunt Questions (and Answers):
1.
This software can create, store, and sync all of your login credentials across multiple devices. (password manager)
2.
To avoid becoming a victim of credential stuffing you should never reuse _____. (passwords/login credentials)
3.
If you ever find a random USB device such as a flash drive or cable, never plug it in and, instead, do this. (report it ASAP)
4.
To prevent cybercriminals from stealing your data over public WiFi, use one of these to encrypt your connection. (a VPN or virtual
private network.)
5.
Data is useless if it can’t be _____. (accessed/located)

Posters are a wonderful way to share tips with faculty, staff, and students in passing, or when waiting. Feel free to print and post these items in high
traffic areas. Best printed on 11x17 paper. |
