Core Security Behaviors

This video from the Cybersecurity & Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) outlines four basic actions everyone should take to protect their accounts and devices.

Essential Cyber Hygiene

Strong Authentication

Use multi-factor authentication (MFA) everywhere possible, especially on primary email and financial accounts. Avoid reusing passwords across sites.

Recognizing Phishing

Watch for artificial urgency, unexpected file attachments, and subtle mismatches in the sender’s actual domain name before clicking links.

Software Maintenance

Keep operating systems, web browsers, and phone software updated automatically to ensure critical security patches are applied immediately.
