Spotting Threats from Passwords to Phishing
October marks Cybersecurity Awareness Month, a time to reflect, reinforce, and recommit to protecting our digital environment! At eQuip, we believe that security isn’t just a technical challenge, it’s a team effort.
Over the past year, phishing attacks have surged over 17% in early months of 2025 alone. These numbers aren’t just statistics, they’re reminders that every click, password, and login matters. That’s why we’ve doubled down on proactive training and awareness, and we’re not stopping by only updating our passwords.
Enhancing your own cyber awareness doesn’t need to be a massive challenge, sometimes small changes can make meaningful impacts.
Below are a few tips so that you can stay cyber smart:
- Enable SSO: The eQuip SSO integration simplifies access while supporting CMMC compliance and secure remote work.
- Turn On Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) It adds an extra layer of protection, even if your password gets compromised.While not fully failsafe, it can be the difference in your security.
- Use Your VPN: Always connect securely when working remotely.
- Avoid Public Wi-Fi for Sensitive Tasks If you must use it, connect through a VPN to keep your data safe.
- Be Wary of Phishing Emails If something feels off, don’t click. Hover over links, check sender addresses, and report suspicious messages.
- Report Suspicious Activity: Self-reporting is mandatory and helps us respond swiftly.
- Think Before You Click: If something feels off, pause and verify.
Cyber threats evolve, but so do we. With features like eQuip SSO, we’re enhancing identity management and supporting secure remote access.
Let’s continue to be vigilant, informed, and united. Because at eQuip, cybersecurity isn’t just a policy, it’s a promise.
