Each week this month the Division of Banks will be offering Cybersecurity Tips
In honor of Cybersecurity awareness month, the Massachusetts Division of Banks will be offering a tip each week to help consumers and companies stay cybersecure.
Updates are the easiest way to ensure your devices and apps are protected from the latest threats.
Updates only protect you if you install them, so:
- Install them right away. (Don’t click “remind me later.”)
- Enable automatic updates for convenience.
Where do you find available updates?
- Notifications: Check for notifications on your phone or computer.
- Settings: Look in your phone, browser or app settings.
- Browser: Check the upper corner of your browser for any alerts.
