01 Oct Cybersecurity Awareness Month: Tips For Employees To Avoid Being Hacked
This week in cybersecurity from the editors at Cybercrime Magazine
Sausalito, Calif. – Oct. 1, 2024
As Cybersecurity Awareness Month kicks off this October, it’s the perfect time to revisit the importance of good cyber hygiene. With cyber threats on the rise, staying vigilant at work and home is more crucial than ever. Cybercrime has dramatically increased, with the FBI reporting a record number of complaints last year alone. In fact, the cost of cybercrime is projected to hit $10.5 trillion annually by 2025, according to Cybercrime Magazine.
For CISOs on the front lines of cybersecurity, these threats are a daily reality. However, it’s easy to forget that employees may not be as attuned to these dangers, especially when dealing with them in their personal lives. From phishing scams to data breaches, everyone is vulnerable, and a single slip can have serious consequences.
Recent incidents serve as a reminder that these threats are very real and often hit close to home. Whether you’re a seasoned cybersecurity professional looking to help your employees or just trying to protect your own personal information, Microage has some key tips to give you the best chance of avoiding a cybersecurity breach.
