Woodforest is proud to announce it has signed on as a partner of STOP. THINK. CONNECT., the global cybersecruity awareness campaign focusing on keeping the internet safe and secure in an increasingly connected world.
STOP. THINK. CONNECT. advises all Internet users to take security measures, understand the consequences of their behavior and actions, and enjoy the benefits of the Internet. Here are a few tips and advice:
Keep a Clean Machine
Keep all critical software—security software, Web browsers and operating systems—up to date.
Protect Your Personal Information Secure your accounts by making passwords long, strong and unique.
Own Your Online Presence Set security and privacy settings to your comfort level of sharing.
When in Doubt, Throw it Out
If an email, social network post or text message looks suspicious, even if you know the source, delete it.
Be a Good Online Citizen
Post only about others what you would have them post about you.
The campaign launched in 2010 and was developed by the STOP. THINK. CONNECT. Messaging Convention, a public-private partnership established in 2009 and led by The Anti-Phishing Working Group (APWG) and National Cyber Security Alliance (NCSA) to develop and support a national cybersecurity awareness campaign. The Department of Homeland Security provides the Federal Government's leadership for the campaign. Industry, government, non-profits and education institutions participate in STOP. THINK. CONNECT.
