Ep. 40 // Password123

October is National Cybersecurity Month. In a digitized world that goes more and more electronic every day, ask yourself, are you safe from the bad guys?

In this week’s episode of Terminal Exchange, we invited Doug and Jesse from Nussbaum’s IT Department to share about cybersecurity. They gladly took on the task of teaching how to keep your company and yourself safe online.

And what happens when you don’t? Well, Doug and Jesse divulge plenty of grimacing consequences on when the bad guys break in and win.

Keep yourself safe and check out Doug and Jesse’s recommended password managers linked below.

Happy Cybersecurity Month

Quotes

• “When you connect your computer to the internet, it’s kind of like having your house connected to the street. And without a firewall, your door is wide open… A firewall is basically locking the door and only allowing in those users that you would like to come in.” – Doug
• “Antivirus is kind of like patrolling the inside of the house – checking the passes of people that came in.” – Jesse
• “Everyone in IT could spend their entire next year working on security-related stuff and still not be as secure as you want to be.”
• “Password123 is one of the number one passwords in the world – by huge margins!”
