Four practical steps for a safer online life.
Use a simple routine to protect your accounts, information, and family conversations online.
Four small actions make a meaningful difference
The U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency’s Secure Our World guidance highlights four practical habits that can reduce common online risks.
Recognize and report phishing
Pause before opening unexpected links, attachments, or urgent requests for personal information.
Use strong passwords
Use a unique password for important accounts and consider a trusted password manager.
Turn on multifactor authentication
Use an extra verification step when an account offers it.
Update software
Install updates for phones, computers, apps, and devices so known security issues can be fixed.
Talk about it with the people you love
Choose one action to complete together this week: turn on multifactor authentication, update a device, or discuss how your family checks unexpected messages. Small, repeatable habits are easier to keep.
