To Stay Safe Online, adhere to advise below
01.
Password Security
One of the easiest ways to protect yourself online is to use strong passwords. Avoid using simple passwords like "password" or "123456" and instead create complex combinations of letters, numbers, and symbols. Also, don't reuse passwords for different accounts, as this makes it easier for hackers to access multiple accounts if they crack one password. Consider using a password manager to help you create and remember strong passwords.
02.
Email Safety and Security
Email is a common tool for cybercriminals to use to steal information or infect your computer with malware. Be cautious when opening emails from unknown senders or clicking on links within emails hence why email safety is important. Avoid giving out personal information over email, this can be easily intercepted by hackers. If you receive an email that looks suspicious, do not open it and report it to your email provider. Our email safety training can help your business stay safe online.
03.
Social Engineering
Social engineering is a type of cyber-attack where a perpetrator uses psychological manipulation to trick individuals into divulging sensitive information or performing actions that can compromise their security. The goal of social engineering is to exploit human vulnerabilities rather than technical weaknesses to gain unauthorised access to sensitive data or systems. Social engineering techniques include phishing emails, pretexting, baiting, and tailgating, among others. By understanding the techniques used in social engineering attacks, individuals and organizations can take steps to protect themselves and minimize their risk of becoming a victim.

Data Safety & Privacy
Data safety and privacy are critical aspects of cybersecurity that involve protecting sensitive information from unauthorised access, use, or disclosure. Data safety involves implementing measures to secure data, such as encryption, access controls, and backup procedures, to ensure that it remains available and protected from loss or damage. Data privacy, on the other hand, refers to the legal and ethical requirements surrounding the collection, use, and sharing of personal information. This includes obtaining consent from individuals before collecting their data, ensuring that data is only used for its intended purpose, and implementing appropriate safeguards to protect sensitive data from unauthorised access or disclosure. By prioritising data safety and privacy, individuals and organisations can protect sensitive information from cyber threats and maintain the trust of their customers and stakeholders. We offer data privacy and safety consultancy to businesses in Manchester and the surrounding areas and also offer data privacy as part of our online training course.

Social Media Privacy
Social media is a great way to connect with others, but it is also a platform that cybercriminals can use to steal personal information. Review your privacy settings on social media from time to time to ensure that only the people you trust can see your posts and personal information. Be cautious when accepting friend requests from strangers and avoid sharing sensitive information like your home address or phone number online.

If you need to use public Wi-Fi, consider using a virtual private network (VPN) to encrypt your internet connection and protect your data.
