Safe internet practices at home are essential to protect personal data, prevent financial loss, safeguard privacy, and ensure the safety of all family members online.

 

Consider the following home cybersecurity tips:

 

Protect your Wi-Fi.

Change your router’s default network name and password and consider creating an alternative network for guests.

Add layers of security.

Use multifactor authentication to verify logins and ensure hackers can’t access your accounts with only your password.

Educate family members.

Ensure everyone in your household knows not to click on suspicious links or download unexpected attachments.

Stay updated.

Keep software and programs up to date, as patches often include important cybersecurity measures.
