Top tips for staff
Regardless of the size or type of organisation you work for, it’s important to understand how to defend yourself from cyber attacks.
The advice summarised to the right is applicable to your working life and your home life.
Use strong passwords
Criminals will try the most common passwords (e.g. password1), or use publicly available information to try and access your accounts. If successful, they can use this same password to access your other accounts.
Defend against phishing attacks
Phishing emails appear genuine, but are actually fake. They might try and trick you into revealing sensitive information, or contain links to a scam website or an infected attachment.
Secure your devices
The phones, tablets, laptops or desktop computers that you use can be targeted both remotely
and physically, but you can protect them from many common cyber attacks.
