Cybersecurity: Level up! Updating software

Level 3: Update Often

Level up your cybersecurity. LLCC cybersecurity awareness campaign logo.Welcome to Level 3. One of the easiest ways to keep your information secure is by making sure your software and apps are up-to-date. These updates fix general software problems and provide new security patches where criminals might get in.

Please Note: When downloading a software update, only get it from the company that created it. Hacked, pirated or unlicensed software versions often contain malware and cause more problems than they solve.

It is advised to turn on automatic updates. When there’s an update available, it will give you a reminder so that you can easily start the process.

Look for this week’s Level UP poster on bulletin boards around campus for additional information.

Thank you for keeping LLCC off the cybercriminal’s leader board.
