Today, as part of Cyber Awareness Month, our Information Security team conducted a webinar for our AMP colleagues, sharing valuable insights on implementing online security practices effectively.

During the session, we covered a wide range of tips applicable to both work and home environments. From utilising auto-updates for all devices, (including robot vacuums!), to segmenting home Wi-Fi networks. We emphasised the importance of proactive security measures in the era of AI. Particularly, we discussed safeguarding children and older family members online.

We wrapped up by asking: “What’s one thing you’d recommend to others to stay secure?” Here are some key takeaways from the discussion:

• ✨ Enhance security by enabling Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) and transitioning to passwordless solutions.
• 🔑 Simplify password management with tools like 1Password, Microsoft Wallet, Google Password Manager and iCloud Passwords to handle complex and unique passwords effortlessly.
• 🔍 Stay vigilant by checking for data breaches using Have I Been Pwned and promptly updating compromised passwords.
• 🤔 Exercise caution before clicking on links and maintain awareness of your online activities to protect your digital footprint.

It's truly commendable to witness our AMP team's commitment to cybersecurity awareness and proactive measures.

Thanks Kathy Grosse, Daniel Lupton, Vineet Ppulikottil, Max Phongsack, Steve Espino and Daisy Clarke.
