Welcome to the Seventh Edition!

Hello tech lovers! 👋 We’re back with another edition of The Cloud Help Newsletter. This week, we’re looking at what’s next after Cybersecurity Awareness Month — with practical, year-round tips to keep your digital life safe.

Tech in Focus: Post-Cybersecurity Month – Staying Secure All Year Round

Cybersecurity isn’t just for October — it’s a daily habit. Here are some key practices to keep you protected in 2025 and beyond:

  • Review Your Digital Footprint – Search your name online and audit what information is publicly visible.

  • Use Passkeys – Move beyond passwords by enabling passkeys on compatible apps and devices.

  • Be Phishing-Savvy – Watch out for suspicious emails, even from familiar names. Always verify before clicking.

  • Encrypt Your Data – Whether it’s on a laptop or the cloud, encryption keeps your files private.

  • Back Up Regularly – Use automated cloud backups or an external drive to protect against data loss.

Cybersecurity is a mindset, not a one-time checklist.

Tech Tip: Top 5 Cybersecurity Tips to Remember

  1. Update Software Promptly – Outdated software = open doors for hackers.

  2. Avoid Public Wi-Fi for Sensitive Work – Use a VPN when connecting on the go.

  3. Check App Permissions – Don’t let apps access more data than necessary.

  4. Secure Your Cloud Accounts – Use unique passwords for Google Drive, iCloud, and Dropbox.

  5. Educate Yourself Continuously – Cyber threats evolve; so should you.

Good security is a daily practice — stay alert, not anxious.

Spotlight Series: The Human Side of Cybersecurity

The biggest cybersecurity risk isn’t just software — it’s people. Human error causes most data breaches, from weak passwords to accidental sharing. That’s why companies are investing in security awareness training and phishing simulations to build stronger habits.

You don’t need to be a cybersecurity expert to stay safe — just stay informed.
