Q8: The goal of Cybersecurity Awareness Month is to promote cybersecurity best practices and to encourage people to own their role in protecting their connections. How can individuals do their part and #BeCyberSmart?

Q5: After you download a new app or purchase a new device, what are some of the first things you should do to protect your privacy and enhance your security? #BeCyberSmart
Never blindly download or purchase. See what other users online are saying, and if any experts have weighed in. Search for the product/app with the keywords “privacy” and “security” to get started. #BeCyberSmart
Q4: When evaluating new apps to download or new smart devices to purchase, how can you evaluate if this will be something safe to use? Are there security features to look for or red flags to be aware of? #BeCyberSmart
