Put your skills to the test with our winter word puzzle — a game that blends clever wordplay with essential cybersecurity know-how.
This month, we're challenging you to stop cybercriminals in their tracks and give them the coldest reception they can imagine.
Give cybercriminals the cold shoulder with strong cybersecurity defenses. When threats appear, your vigilance will instantly make cybercriminals feel unwelcome, forcing them to retreat before they can do any damage.
Want to know how to effectively put threats on ice and keep your digital world safe? It starts with recognizing suspicious activity and adopting a few key habits:
- Halt the Click: If an email or message feels off, stop right there! Scrutinize the sender and the link's destination. If anything seems suspicious, report it.
- Maintain an Icy Barrier: Use strong, unique passwords and Multifactor Authentication (MFA). These security layers act like a frosty barrier, making it more difficult for unauthorized users to gain entry.
- Insulate Your Assets: Understand the risk level of the information you handle. Highly sensitive data (like Social Security numbers, credit card numbers, Protected Health Information, etc.) requires the strongest security tools to properly protect it from catching a serious cyber-chill.
