PHOENIX, Oct. 1, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Phoenix IT and security company, One Step Secure IT, announces it has signed on as Champion for Cybersecurity Awareness Month 2024, to help businesses secure their critical information.
Founded in 2004, Cybersecurity Awareness Month, held each October, is the world's foremost initiative to promote cybersecurity awareness and best practices. It is co-led by the National Cyber Security Alliance and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Agency (CISA) of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.
The Cybersecurity Awareness Month Champions Program is a collaborative effort among businesses, government agencies, colleges and universities, associations, nonprofit organizations, and individuals.
One Step Secure IT is proud to be a Cybersecurity Awareness Month Champion again this year and supports the initiative to promote cybersecurity awareness and best practices. One Step Secure IT Founder and CEO Scott Kreisberg said, "Effective cybersecurity starts with strong personal habits, and it's something everyone can continuously improve. Whether you're an individual or part of a large organization, prioritizing personal cybersecurity hygiene is the foundation for staying one step ahead of cyber threats."
For the past 20 years and counting, Cybersecurity Awareness Month has aimed to highlight some of the emerging challenges in the world of cybersecurity today and provide straightforward, actionable guidance that anyone can follow to create a safe and secure digital world for themselves and their loved ones.
The theme of Cybersecurity Awareness Month is Secure Our World. This theme recognizes the importance of taking daily action to reduce risks when online and connected to devices.
Cybersecurity Awareness Month highlights four simple steps to boost online safety at home, work, or school. These tips help protect you whenever you're connected. Share them with family, friends, colleagues, and your community to make the digital world safer for everyone!
Here are the easy actions we should all take, not just in October but every day, to stay safe online.
- Recognize & Report Phishing: Be cautious of unsolicited messages asking for personal information. Avoid sharing sensitive information or credentials with unknown sources. Report phishing attempts and delete the message.
- Use Strong Passwords: Strong passwords are long, random, and unique and include all four character types (uppercase, lowercase, numbers, and symbols). Password managers are a powerful tool to help you create strong passwords for each account.
- Turn On MFA: You need more than a password to protect your online accounts, and enabling MFA makes you significantly less likely to get hacked. Enable MFA on all your online accounts that offer it, especially email, social media, and financial accounts.
- Update Software: Ensuring your software is up to date is the best way to make sure you have the latest security patches and updates on your devices. Regularly check for updates if automatic updates are not available.
Cybersecurity Awareness Month continues to build momentum and impact by providing everyone with the information they need to stay safer and more secure online. One Step Secure IT is proud to support this far-reaching online safety awareness and education initiative.
It has become imperative for organizations of all sizes to adopt a proactive approach to safeguarding their assets, data, and reputation. Recognizing this need, One Step Secure IT has developed a comprehensive suite of services to empower businesses with a robust security strategy.
