031. Securing Systems: How to make your systems less attractive to bad actors

The heat is on, Cyberheads! In this episode of the #CyberChats special edition summer series, we explore how to improve your system security.


In today's episode, we discuss the basics of how to make your phone, laptop, or PC more secure and less attractive to bad actors. How do you reduce your attack surface? How do you limit access to your location data? Why should you remove apps you don't use? What makes a good password, and how do I remember all these passwords? The answers to all of these questions are in this episode, so tune in to find out.


After the episode, put your new knowledge to practice in our second of three Summer Cyber Challenges on MetaCTF: Lost in the Woods! Register below, compete individually or join a team, and look for your name on the leaderboard. Be sure to come back here in two weeks as we work through the Challenge together.
