use. In most cell phones and laptops, this can be toggled off or on
within your settings under privacy.

information about you and the websites you visit, including banking and
other sensitive information.
At the end of the day, properly log out of all
applications and log out of your system/network.
Participate in safe browsing.Pay attention to system
warnings and avoid untrusted websites.
Ensure all
privacy and security settings are reviewed and enabled
on all applications and social media platforms.
Be cautious about people you don’t know who may
approach you online.
Avoid oversharing on social media platforms or
websites. Many organizations have a policy that discusses who can share
organizational information on social media. However, some do not. Avoid
sharing organizational information on your personal social media
accounts. It could be used against your organization and can put you at
risk. Before you post it, ask yourself, could this information create a
cyber security risk? For example, are you sharing information you might
use in a passphrase one day?
Think before you click on any links or attachments.
Only interact with emails or websites that you know are safe.
