SJP Online security

As individuals there are also some simple steps and guidance that we can all easily follow to improve our personal online security. By raising awareness of common fraud scams we hope you'll recognise the warning signs early and keep yourself safe.
Security checklist:
Where possible, passwords should be at least twelve characters long, but they do not need to be complex (i.e. numbers, special characters are not required). Consider usinga sequence of words or letters that are memorable to you but difficult to guess, or phrases from a poem or song. Change your passwords regularly where possible, using different passwords for different accounts. Do not let anyone else know your password. Use a Password Manager application (with two-factor authentication on the Password Manager account enabled for extra security) or a Browser Password Manager.
Cybercrime is a fast-moving industry. By keeping your systems up to date, they will be more resilient to new cyber attacks. Also run regular virus scans of your computers and devices.
If you are unsure whether the connection is secure. Do not enter sensitive information into the device. If you are in a public place such as a café or hotel, the wireless connection is less likely to be secure.
