Monthly CIO Cybersecurity Message from Elizabeth Hackenson
In this month's Cybersecurity Message, Elizabeth discusses the importance of using secure connections when connecting to the Internet. We have grown accustomed to easy Internet access at home, at work, and in public places such as restaurants, airports and hotels. While the option to connect is convenient, the utilization of public Wi-Fi networks also poses risks. When you connect to a public, insecure Wi-Fi network and conduct online activities through email or websites, it is very easy for hackers to intercept your user names, passwords, and other confidential information.
