Secure U: Top Cybersecurity Tips for Vacations

The holiday season is upon us, which means it’s prime time for cybercriminals to take advantage of the millions of people traveling through all modes of transportation over the next few months. The December 2021 edition of the “OUCH!” newsletter shares top tips on mobile devices, WiFi, public computers, social media, and work to help keep you cyber savvy and safe.

Listen to the SANS Holiday Season jingle (approximately 2 minutes on YouTube) for some security-related holiday cheer!

We encourage you to share OUCH! with your family, friends, and coworkers.

"OUCH!" is a free, online security awareness newsletter designed for the common computer user. Published every month, and in multiple languages, each edition is carefully researched and developed by the SANS Securing the Human team, SANS instructor subject matter experts, and team members of the community. Each issue focuses on and explains a specific topic and actionable steps we can take to protect ourselves, our families, and our organization. All SANS requests are that we do not modify or sell the newsletters.
