October is Cybersecurity Awareness Month, and all four University of Colorado campuses are sharing how cyber smart starts with you. You don't need to be a cybersecurity expert to mitigate cybercrime or protect our university. A few simple defensive habits can help stop or disrupt many of the cyberattacks we encounter.  

Focus on four habits:

• Protect your sign-in. Use the secure Duo Push for Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) and never approve a sign-in you did not initiate. 
  
• Use a unique password. Create a strong, unique password and avoid using the same one for multiple logins.  
  
• Question the message. Slow down when an unexpected message asks for money, credentials or immediate action. 
  
• Verify the request. Confirm identities and requests through a trusted, independent channel.
