April Cybersecurity Tech Tip: Regular Updates

Your devices are your gateway to the digital world, but they need proper protection. By staying proactive with updates you not only help your computer to run smoothly, but you help protect everyone else as well. Follow these steps to enhance security:

Update Regularly:

Ensure your devices are updated with the latest security patches and software updates. These updates often include crucial fixes for vulnerabilities. Before updating your computer, make sure you have a proper backup of your important files. While rare, updates can fail and cause loss to your data.

Sophos Anti-Virus:

Provo City School District has provided Sophos as a robust anti-virus and anti-malware tool already installed on your computer. If Sophos is not installed on your computer or you suspect it’s not working, please let the Technology Department know. Tools like Sophos act as a shield against malicious software, safeguarding your data and privacy.

Remember, the security of our digital accounts is a shared responsibility. By adopting these practices, you contribute to the overall resilience of our cybersecurity defenses.
