The events of 2020 didn\u2019t just set significant lifestyle changes in motion. According to a recent study, it also influenced our mindset about our online security.<\/p>\n

McAfee\u2019s\u00a02021 Consumer Security Mindset Report<\/em><\/a>\u00a0highlights our collective shift to a Digital-First mindset and the increased risks that come with it.<\/p>\n

This study is essential to families for several reasons. First, it gives us a snapshot of reality, and when we understand reality, we can take steps to improve it. Second, it\u2019s a reminder to us as parents that helping our kids build their digital skills is a process subject to cultural shifts that will require continuous recalibration.<\/p>\n

Our Reality<\/strong><\/h2>\n

In short, the study reveals that we\u2019re online more and, for convenience\u2019s sake, we\u2019re taking more chances with our security. In step with this increase in digital activity, online scams are on the rise. And, while most of us admit to being worried about our online security and, many still don\u2019t have the digital habits they need to protect themselves.<\/p>\n

How do we respond to this new and seemingly ongoing reality? We can say we need better cyber safety skills, or we can implement them.<\/p>\n

To help you do just that, here are ten easy peasy steps your family can take today to strengthen the protective circle around your digital life. Note: You don\u2019t have to be tech savvy to do these things. They are easy, effective ways to build up your family\u2019s digital defenses. Here we go!<\/p>\n

10 Ways to Boost Digital Security<\/strong><\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. Stay on top of scams.<\/strong>\u00a0Phishing scams are at an all-time high. Discuss the precautions with kids \u2014 don\u2019t open strange emails, click random downloads, connect with strangers online, or purchase from sketchy sources or websites.<\/li>\n
  2. Zip it online.<\/strong>\u00a0Oversharing personal information online is low-hanging fruit for hackers. They can piece together details in surprising ways to steal your identity \u2014 or worse. Encourage kids to keep private information and keep real names, city, address, school name, extracurricular activities, and pet names under wraps online.<\/li>\n
  3. Create a family challenge.<\/strong>\u00a0Find and fix your family\u2019s security gaps. Inventory your technology, including IoT devices, smartphones, game systems, tablets, and toys. Rank device security 1-10 based on security best practices (see #8). Create an official 30-Day Family Security Challenge. Make it fun. Sit and change passwords together, review privacy settings, reduce friend lists. Come up with a reward system that tallies and recognizes each positive security step.<\/li>\n
  4. Layer up your protection.<\/strong>\u00a0Use multi-factor authentication to double-check digital users’ authenticity and add a layer of security to protect personal data and information.<\/li>\n
  5. Connect with caution.<\/strong>\u00a0If you must conduct transactions on a public Wi-Fi connection, use a virtual private network (VPN) like\u00a0McAfee\u00ae Safe Connect<\/a>\u00a0to help keep you safe while you\u2019re online.<\/li>\n
  6. Follow safe browsing habits.<\/strong>\u00a0Browse with added security using a tool like\u00a0McAfee WebAdvisor<\/a>\u00a0to block malware and phishing sites if you click on a malicious link. In addition to checking web sites, put your browser in private or incognito mode to reduce some tracking and auto-filling.<\/li>\n
  7. Lock up your identity.<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0Protect your identity and important personal information using\u00a0McAfee Identity Theft Protection<\/a>, which also helps you recover your information if your identity is compromised.<\/li>\n
  8. Take control of your digital footprint.<\/strong>\u00a0Limit information online by\u00a0a)<\/strong>\u00a0setting social media profiles to private\u00a0b)<\/strong>\u00a0regularly editing friends lists,\u00a0c)<\/strong>\u00a0deleting personal information on social profiles,\u00a0d)\u00a0<\/strong>limiting app permissions someone and browser extensions<\/li>\n
  9. Purge old, unused apps and data<\/strong>. To strengthen security, regularly delete old data, photos, apps, emails, and unused accounts.<\/li>\n
  10. Update devices asap<\/strong>. Those updates you\u2019re putting off? They may be annoying but most of them are security-related, so it\u2019s wise to install them as they come out.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
