Thinking about moving to the cloud? Make sure you can answer all of these questions:

1. Who outside of my company will have access to my data?
2. What security measures are in place for when a device is lost or stolen?
3. With what frequency is my data backed up? (And where is it backed up?)
4. What happens if my cloud provider goes out of business? (What’s the backup plan?)
5. Where is my data actually located?

Yikes! It’s scary that a data breach could go unnoticed that long, but it happens all of the time.

Don’t let this happen to you!

Make sure your IT department is regularly running scans looking for anomalies.

Just because you’re required to enter a password does NOT mean the Wi-Fi is secure.

The business providing the free Wi-Fi might not have proper security systems in place, which will put you at risk while you’re using it.

Or, worst yet, a sneaky hacker could set up a similar name (Like CoffeeCafe1 instead of CoffeeCafe) and use the same password so you connect to their Wi-Fi instead.

It’s best to not risk it at all and just use a VPN. If you need one, send us a DM!

Any big things planned this week?

Update your software when promoted!

Up-to-date software prevents hackers from gaining access to your network through any holes that would otherwise remain unfixed.

Patching these vulnerabilities as soon as they’re detected will ensure your information is kept secure.

Be careful of social media scams!

Cybercriminals target social media-savvy students who spend a lot of time online.

Here are three things to watch out for…

1. Fill-in-the-blank social media “quizzes.” These can reveal information hackers can use to guess your passwords
2. Sketchy links. These can lead to phishing websites that will steal your information.
3. Message scams. Hackers will try to befriend you via messages to get you to send them money or hack into your account.

Most schools have secure networks; however, not all schoolwork is done at school.

If your students work anywhere away from campus—at home, while traveling, or even at a coffee shop with public WiFi—you need to use a VPN to prevent hackers from having access to your network!

Students - Make sure to encrypt your data!

Encryption secures and protects any data that you send online from cyber criminals or even just tech-savvy nosy peers.

The start of the new school year is here! Each day this week we’ll be sharing a new cyber safety tip to help keep your students safe online.

Today’s tip - Utilize cloud technology!

Cloud-based technology allows students to save their work as they go, automatically backing it up so they never lose their work. There is nothing worse than typing a paper and forgetting to save.
