Summer is just around the corner and to make sure you get the most out of it, we will provide you with the best five tips on how to stay safe in the warm weather in terms of cybersecurity.

Fraudulent hotel websites. If you’re planning to go on holiday this summer, try and book it directly through one of the travel companies. Third parties may seem cheaper but this might be for a reason – to scam you. Be careful when using third parties.

Don’t over-publicise it. It’s great to let your friends know where you’re going on holiday, but make sure not to put specific dates on places like Facebook and other social media websites. This leads to the world knowing some important information. How well do you know everyone in your contacts?

Monitor your children. With school finished for summer and your children having more spare time than ever before, be careful to check regularly that they are safe online. This could mean limiting the amount of hours they spend on their devices or what specific types of pages they access.

Public WiFi Networks. It is always handy when there is a hotspot to save your data. However, ensuring you do not access apps or websites containing important information on Public networks is vital. Cybercriminals target these sorts of places.

Most Importantly Enjoy Yourself! Once everything is in place, enjoy your summer. It’s time to relax!
