Keeping Your Technology Safe: A Laughing Matter?

Originally published: February 6, 2023

Most of us have heard the saying, "Laughter is the best medicine." But when it comes to keeping your technology safe, is laughter really the answer?

Well, maybe not, but it can certainly help you remember some important tips! Here are a few ways to keep your tech secure without taking yourself too seriously:

Use a password manager: Trying to remember all your passwords is like trying to remember every joke you've ever heard. Use a password manager to keep track of them all and make your life easier.

Update your software: Keeping your software up to date is like keeping your joke repertoire fresh. You don't want to be caught telling the same old jokes (or using outdated software) that could leave you vulnerable to attack.

Back up your data: Losing your data is no laughing matter. Make sure you regularly back up your important files to avoid a tech catastrophe.

Be wary of phishing scams: Phishing scams are like bad jokes - they're easy to spot once you know what to look for. Be careful of suspicious emails and never give out personal information.

So while laughter may not be the actual cure for all your tech woes, keeping a sense of humor can make the process of staying safe a little more enjoyable. And remember, at Sparrowhawk Technology, we're here to help keep your technology safe and easy to use - no joke!
