In this time of COVID19 pandemic a huge increase in online transactions has been taking place around the globe and especially to our country, Philippines. What used to be the usual quarterly visit to the government office to pay contributions turned into a quick click of a button. The long lines of queues during shopping turned into an easy access door-to-door delivery. Even the borrowing of money from lenders turned up into an online app. These are just a few examples of the things that we used to do which then migrated to an online transaction and there is a lot of data that is passed around the network which needs to be SECURED.
DECODE the premier cybersecurity conference will surely help in educating a number of participants to preach about how to keep not just ourselves but as well as our friends and family safe from the different cybersecurity breaches.
I went online to read about How to KEEP MY DATA SAFE, and here are 3 tips that I found very significant:
Educate Ourselves
This is the most significant of all. “Knowledge is Power”, they say. Read up and learn different things about your online transaction. Check if the website address is correct. This is usually the starting point of Phishing. A website may look very legit but it can never have the same URL or Website Address as the LEGIT website. Joining online conferences or webinars about Cybersecurity will definitely add up to your knowledge.
Improved Logins
For the common consumer who has entered the game of Online transactions, Improved logins will surely help keep their data SECURED. Strong passwords for logins with Multi-Factor Authentication such as fingerprint or One-Time-Passwords keep people with malicious intent from doing any harm.
Be Vigilant
Scammers are witty and they have taught themselves how to TAKE your PRECIOUS DATA in many ways. Let us not fall for the “Too Good To Be True” enticing ads online. These ads may contain Malicious Software which can damage or slow down our systems or worse.
Be equipped with cybersecurity know-how to rise above a crisis, make informed decisions, and win the war against cyber threats. DECODE 2021 will be on November 10-11.
