ORLANDO, Fla., Oct. 03, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- October is Cybersecurity Awareness Month, a global initiative highlighting the importance of online safety. Webroot, a leading provider of cybersecurity solutions, urges everyone to take proactive steps to protect their personal data in an increasingly interconnected digital world.
As artificial intelligence (AI) continues to evolve and integrate into daily routines, the landscape of cyber threats is also changing. While AI can be a powerful tool for defense, it can also be exploited by malicious actors.
Webroot offers these essential cybersecurity tips to help users stay safe:
- Guard Your Personal Information
Sharing less online reduces the risk of exposure. Avoid posting sensitive details like passwords, social security numbers, and financial data.
- Double Up Your Defense
Passwords alone aren't enough. Utilize multi-factor authentication (MFA) to add an extra layer of security for your accounts.
- Beware of Fake AI Apps
Be cautious of lookalike apps and browser extensions. Only download software from trusted sources like official app stores or reputable websites.
- Shop Smart Online
Avoid saving payment information for future purchases. If a website is compromised, your credit card details could be at risk.
- Be Cautious with AI Tools
Provide only the necessary information when interacting with AI tools.
- Fight Phishing Scams
Be wary of emails that seem too good to be true. Report suspicious emails as potential scams.
- Stay Informed
Educate yourself about current cybersecurity threats and best practices. Share this knowledge with
family and friends to create a safer digital environment.
