Cybersecurity Month: Protect Yourself Online

October 23, 2024   /   Tami McMoran

At Capital Bank, we’re committed to keeping your information protected and secure. Therefore, this week we are sharing essential tips about how you can keep yourself protected online.

Online safety is a crucial practice to master. Especially today where most of our information can be found online.

Below are some safe browsing practices that our team suggests:

Utilize strong passwords. While a six-character password might seem strong to you, a good computer can crack that very quickly. Strong passwords are long passwords that range anywhere from twelve to fourteen characters in length. These passwords are unique and use a variety of numbers, symbols, and both upper- and lower-case characters.

Organize your passwords with a password manager. As mentioned above, strong passwords are typically very long and random, meaning they can be difficult to remember. Password managers are secure programs that keep track of all the passwords you utilize on a variety of platforms.

Enable two-factor authentication. Two-factor authentication is a practice that involves a secondary device that receives a text or email to verify that it’s you who is logging into your account. This device is typically one that a hacker would not have access to, adding a second layer of security to your information and accounts.

Keep your software updated at all times. Regular software updates are critical for cybersecurity hygiene, because typically hackers will target companies or individuals who leave their software unpatched. By falling behind on software updates, you leave your information vulnerable to the everyday hacker. Not only will software updates further protect you online, but they will also enable your devices to run smoothly.

How Capital Bank Can Help

We encourage you to enforce these strategies in your day-to-day online browsing. If you have any questions or concerns, don’t hesitate to reach out to Capital Bank. Our team is here to help you implement these practices and ensure your personal and financial information is safe.
