My Top four Tips for Staying Safe Online hi, I'm Caitlin. I'm a cybersecurity expert and I want to help you stay safe online. Let's go. With so many scams and data breaches out there, it's hard to know which to trust and what to do. And that's why I've partnered with Cisco to encourage you to take the necessary steps to be secure and help you stay safe. The first tip is to recognize phishing and smishing. You can recognize this by typos, urgencies and weird links. Second tip is to enable multi factor authentication whenever possible. That means make sure you're signing in with two forms of verification like a password and text message or a phone call. And the third tip is to use strong passwords and don't reuse passwords. Consider using a password manager. Fourth and final tip is to update your software as soon as an update is available. To make sure updates are happening automatically, go to Settings, then General, then Software Update, then make sure all the automatic updates are on.
