Lesson 1 of 3
Recognising digital risks
Cybersecurity protects the confidentiality, integrity and availability of information. Confidentiality limits access, integrity keeps information accurate, and availability keeps services usable.
Phishing messages pressure you to click a link, share a code or transfer money. Check the sender and destination independently. A familiar logo or urgent tone is not proof of authenticity.
Put it into practice
An email says your account will close today. Write three checks you would make before acting.
Key takeaway
Verify unexpected requests through a separate trusted channel.
