We’ve all been there. You receive notification that there’s a software update available on one of your devices while you’re in the middle of a task. You click “Remind me later” and continue with your day. Little do you know, you may have just posed a major threat to your cybersecurity. 

It’s safe to assume that any network you’re on, other than your own, is unsafe. Using public networks such as coffee shops, libraries, and hotels is a breeding ground for hackers. By updating to the latest security software available, you protect yourself from hackers, viruses, and potential headaches down the road.

So, what should you do?

It’s easy! Set aside intentional time to perform any updates on your devices. This way, you aren’t getting in the way of your to-do list, and you can be sure it’s getting done.
