Cybersecurity Awareness Month: If you Connect it, Protect it

LITTLE ROCK, Ark.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Each year, the Department of Homeland Security designates October as National Cybersecurity Awareness Month. It’s a good time to remember that not all scary scenarios are reserved for Halloween. While government and law enforcement resources are dedicated to national cybersecurity, everyone needs to do their part to manage security for their homes and businesses.

“Because 2020 has seen a major disruption to all our lives, how we work, learn and entertain our families is more virtual than ever,” said Tony Spurlin, chief information security officer for Kinetic by Windstream. “That’s made it vital that we keep our online connections secure. Criminals are always looking for a way in and they only need to be successful once, but their intended victims have to get it right every time.”

Award-winning Kinetic Secure blocks viruses, malware and ransomware. The total internet protection secures online identity, date and transactions, as well as defends families from cybercrime. It even tracks as you enter websites of financial institutions and can warn you if they are deemed risky based on industry criteria.
