This is the perfect time of year for individuals, businesses, and other organizations to reflect on the universe of cyber threats and to do their part to protect their networks, their devices, and their data from those threats.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>This is, to a large degree, the FBI&#8217;s PR department at work, which is fine by itself, as long as you know that the FBI is overwhelmed with cyber complaints and that they only get interested when the damage is over $1M.<\/p>\n<p>Security vendors are regularly contacted by organizations that have lost large amounts of money caused by &#8220;CEO&#8221; fraud scams and want to prevent these from happening in the future. These security experts will agree with the FBI that this month is a great time to start an awareness training initiative, keeping in mind the following tips from those who keep the world safe from cybercrime, as well as some free tools to help IT down the right path.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.itbusinessnet.com\/article\/National-Cyber-Security-Awareness-Month:-FBI-Hints-and-Tips-4132867#\" target=\"_blank\">Security Tips from the Experts<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Dodi Glenn, VP of Cybersecurity of PC Pitstop (www.pcpitstop.com)<\/strong><br \/>\nMost of the software on your computer won&#8217;t get updated by Microsoft.
