Making cybersecurity less of a trick and more of a treat.
This October, as spooky season approaches, the ICN is teaming up with Iowa Homeland Security and Emergency Management (HSEM) to ensure Iowans are protected from digital ghosts and goblins. As state agencies, our shared mission is to keep our communities safe.
We will spotlight the Core 4 cybersecurity practices—four essential habits that can significantly reduce the risk of cyber threats:
- Strong Passwords Are Your First Line of Defense
- The Power of Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)
- Don't Hit "Remind Me Later": The Spell of Patches and Updates
- Protecting Against Phishing and Social Engineering
With cyber threats lurking in the shadows, it’s a big job that requires a team effort. Follow both agencies so you don't miss any of the digital content we'll be posting.
