The Security Tea – April 2026

Security starts with the basics. Just like any skill, mastering the fundamentals makes all the difference. This month, we’re focusing on five simple habits that keep our digital workplace safe.

1. Use strong passwords.
   Create long, unique passwords that protect your accounts and sensitive information.
2. Stay alert to social engineering.
   Cybercriminals target people, not just systems. Be cautious of messages that pressure or rush you.
3. Think before you click.
   Phishing is still the top threat. Pause before opening links or attachments.
4. Protect your physical space.
   Lock your computer when you step away and secure confidential documents.
5. Follow policies.
   Security guidelines are there to protect everyone—consistency matters.

This month’s Security Tea: Security doesn’t have to be complicated. Strong daily habits protect you, your coworkers, and our entire Panther community.
