KnowBe4 today released a set of essential cybersecurity tips to help organizations and individuals protect themselves online during National Internet Safety Month this June.
June was designated National Internet Safety Month in 2005 by the U.S. Senate to raise awareness about internet safety. The digital threat landscape has transformed dramatically since then, with cyberthreats growing in sophistication and frequency. Phishing attacks and data breaches make the news almost daily, highlighting the need for strong security practices. Research shows that security awareness training reduces global phishing vulnerability by 86%. This month serves as an important reminder for individuals and organizations to reevaluate their digital behaviors and strengthen their defenses against online threats.
KnowBe4 recommends the following five essential cybersecurity practices:
- Use Non-Phishable Multifactor Authentication (MFA): Enable phishing-resistant MFA everywhere possible to add an additional layer of security on top of strong passwords.
- Be Skeptical of Urgency: If an email or message pressures you to act quickly, pause and verify its authenticity.
- Verify Before You Trust: Always double-check the sender’s email address or website URL to ensure it is legitimate before engaging.
- Secure Your Home Network: Change default router passwords and use strong encryption to protect your Wi-Fi from unauthorized access.
- Back Up Your Data Regularly: Use cloud services or external drives to back up important files to be prepared in case of a ransomware attack or data loss.
