Online safety and security is a responsibility we all share, especially when you’re working from home or a mobile location.  It’s more important now than ever before to make smart cyber security practices a part of normal operations.

We all need to remain vigilant and take the following precautions.

  • Avoid clicking on links in unsolicited emails and be wary of email attachments.
  • Use trusted sources—such as legitimate, government websites—for up-to-date, fact-based information about COVID-19.
  • Do not reveal personal or financial information in email, and do not respond to email solicitations for this information.
  • Verify a charity’s authenticity before making donations.

When working from your home or alternate workplace be mindful of your surroundings keeping security and privacy in mind:

  • Position your computer’s monitor out of view of others.
  • Lock the screen when you are not using your device.
  • Securely store any printed materials.
  •  Do not use your state computer for personal use.
