The month of October is Cyber Security Awareness month, which is a dedicated time for “public and private sectors to work together to raise awareness about the importance of cyber security”. For most businesses, working with technology is a vital part of getting the job done, so it’s important to make sure your systems are protected.
October may be over, but it’s never too late to reflect and improve your security posture. The Government of Canada’s Get Cyber Safe program has some great resources you can use to educate yourself about the importance of cyber security. A few highlights from the site are:
- the necessity of MFA,
- how to choose and protect your passwords
- tips on securing your devices.
