 Cybersecurity Tips:

• Before using a mobile app, review the permissions requested and grant the least amount necessary for the app to function
• Change the default password for your home router to a strong password
• The 'Internet of Humans' is a reality through medical devices. Ensure wireless access and authentication mechanisms in your device are secure
• Ensure that you have backups of your data that are external, automated, and offline
• Think first before you post. A split second of rage or seemingly innocent comment can have unforeseen consequences
