October is Cybersecurity Awareness Month, a global effort put forth by the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency and the National Cybersecurity Alliance to help everyone stay safe and protected when using technology whenever and however you connect.
Dovetail is proud to champion this online safety and education initiative this October. Dovetail can help protect your brand in today’s complicated online environment not just this month but every day! Here’s a few tips to kick off the month:
Use Email Authentication:
Putting in place a domain strategy that emphasizes cybersecurity and brand protection is important in today’s world. There are a lot of “bad actors” out there, so setting up standards on your DNS records that can work in tangent with the protocols, applications, servers, and clients that handle the flow and receipt of email is imperative to ensure proper delivery and protect against spoofing.
Keep Your Software Up To Date
Make sure you’re always using the latest version of your software, as updates often include security patches. It may seem that you are constantly updating, but as new threats come up all the time it is important to keep up.
Use Two-Factor Authentication:
Two-factor authentication adds an extra layer of security to your accounts by requiring a code in addition to your password. So where possible to add this feature in, it is an advisable option.
Stay tuned for more information later this month and as always we are happy to chat about the importance of making Cybersecurity a part of your every day routines and how Dovetail can help.
