The rise in cyberattacks over the past year has been both significant and alarming. According to Security Magazine, there are approximately 2,200 cyberattacks each day—amounting to nearly one every 39 seconds. These statistics highlight the urgent need for individuals and organizations to stay informed and proactive in their cybersecurity practices.

Here are a few essential cybersecurity tips to help protect yourself:

• Avoid clicking links in unsolicited emails – Instead, manually type the URL into your browser to ensure you’re accessing the legitimate site.
• Keep your software up to date – Regularly install updates, especially during patch cycles like Microsoft’s “Update Tuesday.”
• Use a password manager and enable Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) – These add layers of protection to your accounts and help prevent unauthorized access.
• Verify website security – Always ensure that websites use HTTPS before entering sensitive information.
