Security Tip: Don’t Ignore Those Pesky Updates

Most of us get annoyed, when we get an alert asking to install the update now or later on our devices. However, updating your devices is extremely important.  Not only does it keep your devices running smoothly, but it also can help protect your device against cyber threats.

One of the easiest ways for a cybercriminal to gain access to your information is by exploiting outdated software on your devices. It is not just PCs and laptop, it is also important to update devices like phones and tablets. New vulnerabilities are discovered every day in every software product imaginable (including Microsoft, Apple, and Androids).

Once these vulnerabilities are discovered, software providers rewrite or update their software code to “patch” the holes so they can’t be exploited. If you do not run these update, that leaves your devices exposed. Stay safe, and keep your devices updated.

Things you can do to keep you safe:

  • Learn what software you have installed. If you do not need or use the software, uninstall it.
  • Turn on automatic updates, or at the very least, a setting that notifies you of available updates. Most smartphones and tablets have an automatic update feature for apps. Make sure it is turned on.
  • If you are doing a major update to your mobile device operating system, it is a good idea to do a backup first.
