As we embark on a new year, let's resolve to Bee Cyber Fit in 2025! By adopting simple yet effective habits, we can strengthen our digital defenses and protect ourselves and Yale from cyber threats. From strengthening passwords to being mindful of social engineering, every step counts. By building these habits into our daily routines, we can significantly reduce our risk of falling victim to cybercriminals.
Start by taking small steps, like creating strong and unique passwords, using multifactor authentication (MFA), and being wary of phishing emails.
