Schedule your updates, patches, and scans
With increasing security threats from cyber criminals, simple steps can greatly increase protections to your personal and family accounts. Operating systems and applications have weekly and monthly security patches. Set reminders to be a super patcher and scanner – or even better, set up automatic updates so you’ll always have the latest protections in place.
Action Steps
- PAUSE regularly to update your phones and other personal devices with the latest patches and updates.
- VERIFY that your phones, laptops, computers, and internet browsers are set up for automatic updates. Schedule daily and weekly malware and anti-virus software scans. Turn on browser scanning to protect yourself while on the internet.
