Taking Security Personally

May 2019

April 2019 Newsletter

To build a culture of strong human firewalls, it’s important to prioritize not just organizational security, but personal security as well. That’s why this month’s newsletter takes on a personal focus by covering how to protect your family online, how to secure home networks, and what it means to properly maintain mobile devices. When security receives precedence in all facets of life, both organizations and individuals improve their resistance to cybercrime.

  1. New or recently reset routers need to have these changed ASAP. (default username and password)
  2. What do social engineers use to gather intel on their next targets? (social media)
  3. If you want to reduce targeted ads, don’t allow apps to access your device’s _____. (microphone)
  4. To avoid spoofed or rogue public WiFi networks, you should disable this specific function. (auto-connect)
  5. This software can create, store, and sync all of your login credentials across multiple devices. (password manager)
