Welcome back to Cyber Security Awareness Month! This week is a reminder to make sure to update your device’s software and apps often.
Software and apps need the latest and greatest updates to stay secure. These updates fix general software problems and provide new security patches where hackers might get in.
Please Note, when downloading a software update:
- Only get it from the company that created it. Hacked, pirated, or unlicensed software versions often contain malware and cause more problems than they solve.
- Make sure the software or application you’re updating is approved by your organization. If you are unsure, please contact our team for more information.
It is advised to turn on automatic updates. When an update is available, it will give you a reminder so you can easily start the process.
Thank you for helping to remove Arkansas Tech University out of hackers’ reach.
