Cybersecurity is the protection against unauthorized access, use, or damage to computer information systems and electronic data. There are various aspects of cybersecurity; it can involve action by individuals or groups, such as cyberterrorism and cybercrime. It can also be a state response to such actions.

The best way to stay safe when it comes to cyber security is to think security first and always be vigilant. If you bring up cybersecurity with a supervisor, they should be able to help you with securing your workstation or computer.

Make cybersecurity a priority when you are brought into a new role. Good online hygiene should be part of any organization’s onboarding process, but if it is not, then take it upon yourself to exercise best practices to keep your company safe. Some precautions include performing regular software updates and enabling MFAs.

Sometimes, users do not realize they have a problem until it is too late. If it seems like your client or company is regularly being attacked, it is time to get to the root of the problem and solve it. Being mindful and vigilant when at work can help to see if there are any trends with attacks so our organization can better protect us and your work.

Be sure to stay alert throughout the entire workday and ask your supervisor if they have any suggestions on how you can better protect your environment.
