Day 20: Enable remote find, lock and wipe features If your phone has been stolen or lost in a location you can’t access, the priority shifts to security. Protecting your personal data is important, and the first step is to lock your stolen phone to prevent your information from getting into the wrong hands. With features like theft protection, remote lock, and find hub, you have more control than you might think. You can use Find Hub to see your phone on the map. Find hub can also be used to find a phone hiding in plain sight, even if the device is on silent mode it will ring at its highest volume for five minutes. Lock your phone with theft protection. When it detects a common theft motion, it automatically locks the screen to protect your information. Note: you will need to enable these ahead of time. If you’re sure you won’t be able to retrieve your phone, you can use the "Erase device" function in Find Hub to perform a factory reset and permanently delete all the data from your phone. Be aware that after you erase the device, Find Hub will no longer be able to track it. This should be used only as a last resort. @ireteeh

My name is Iretioluwa Akerele, I am the Director at CybariK Limited. Today is a good day to tell your organization about us. Let’s support them to strengthen their Cybersecurity posture 💜

This year, I have gifted laptops to 8 people who are in the Cybersecurity field, and I have replaced one laptop battery. I will be giving out 3 more laptops before the end of the year. The laptop scheme will officially close in December 2026, and all information collected will be permanently deleted. If you received a laptop from me, I wish you all the best. I hope the laptop helps you grow, learn, and achieve your goals. I am rooting for your success ❤️

Your phone contains more personal information than you may realise. Think about your photos, emails, social media accounts, banking apps and saved passwords. What would happen if someone got access to your device? It's Day 19 of cybersecurity awareness with @CyberRealm_HQ Securing your personal devices goes beyond setting a password. It's also about protecting the information stored on them and making it harder for someone else to gain access. So, what can you do? - Lock your device: Use a strong PIN, password or biometric authentication. - Keep it updated: Install security updates for your operating system and apps. - Download apps carefully: Use official app stores and check the permissions an app requests. - Enable Find My Device: This can help you locate, lock or erase a lost device, depending on your device and settings. - Back up your data: Keep a backup of important files so you can recover them if your device is lost, damaged or compromised. And please, don't leave your phone unlocked with just anybody because you know them. How many of these security habits do you already practise?

Day 19: Verify Suspicious Videos Before Sharing Fake or manipulated videos spread quickly online. Sharing one without checking can spread false information or even harm others. Before you share a video: 1) Ask yourself if the source is reliable. @ireteeh @CybarikGlobal

Day 19 Verify suspicious videos before sharing The line between real and artificial videos is getting blurry. You open a message and its a video of someone you know asking you to do what they usually wouldn't ask. Determine whether a video is real,look out for unnatural eye behavior, micro-expressions, and perfect facial symmetry. If you're unsure, put a call through to them. @ireteeh

Monday Motivation ✨ This week, choose to 👇🏾 Believe in yourself more. Be grateful for how far you've come. Stay focused on your goals. Keep going, even when it's difficult. Celebrate your progress, no matter how small 💪

Day 18: Review App Permissions Regularly Many apps ask for access to your camera, microphone, location, contacts, or files even when they don’t really need them. Too many permissions can put your privacy at risk. @ireteeh

Day 18: Review app permissions regularly Apps can often access sensitive information about you, including health, financial, and locational data. If you don’t properly manage your app permissions, you increase the risk that this information is shared or sold to third parties.  A photo app might need to use your phone's camera, but why does the calendar app has permission to use your location, photos and videos. Limit access to app that doesn't need them and uninstall unused apps on your device. @ireteeh

Day 17: Download Software Only From Trusted Sources Downloading apps or programs from unknown websites or random links is risky. Many contain malware that can steal your data or damage your device. Here are some safer habits to stay secure: @ireteeh

Sprint 2 (Cloud security) ✅ 9 security controls. All 9 tested & validated. From restricting access to detecting our own simulated attack, we put our Azure security setup to the test. Biggest lesson? Untested protection is just decoration. @Cyblackorg @ireteeh @segoslavia

Day 17: Download Software only from trusted sources. Download apps only from trusted sources, such as Microsoft Store,app Store or Playstore, and be thoughtful about which apps you install. Make sure you're running a regularly updated antivirus product as well. @ireteeh

Dear new mentee, you have a mail ❤️

Your password alone shouldn't be your only layer of defense. Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) adds another layer of security by requiring you to prove your identity in more than one way. It's day 15 of cybersecurity awareness with @CyberRealm_HQ There are three main types of authentication factors: - Something you know: Your password or PIN. - Something you have: Your phone, authenticator app or a code. - Something you are: Your fingerprint or face. Common MFA methods include, verification codes and biometrics. So what is the whole point of MFA? Your password could be stolen and MFA makes it harder for someone to access your account with just your password. Check your email, social media and banking settings to see where you can enable MFA.

Day 16: Secure access to your devices. Your devices can keep you connected to the internet no matter where you are. Learn how to protect them, and your information, from being compromised. Use strong passwords, PIN, Face ID or fingerprint print. When your device is not in use make sure to lock it or set it to lock automatically after a few seconds. Your devices contain a lot of information about you. Learn how to be careful so your information doesn't end up in the hands of a cyber criminal. @ireteeh

Good thread 💜 Mentorship requires a great deal of sacrifice. Over the past few years, it has cost me both time and money. Beyond my own sacrifices, other people have also given their time, energy, and resources to make my mentorship programme a success. If you see anyone going out of their way to support your career, please remember to say a prayer for them. Sometimes, we see the impact of their work without seeing the sacrifices behind it.

Day 16 — MFA Fatigue Attacks Getting 5 login approval requests you didn't trigger? That's an attack, not a glitch. Never approve a login prompt you didn't initiate. Report it immediately. Scenario: 5 MFA prompts, you're not logging in. What's your move?

Dear new mentee, please keep an eye on your email this weekend. You will receive an onboarding form and a link to join the mentorship group on slack. There will be a deadline for you to complete these actions, it’s important to keep an eye on your email.

Day 15: Keep sensitive information away from prying eyes. Our phones are constantly in our hands, but have you considered how often it gets into the hands of others? Whether it’s entertaining a child, showing something funny to a friend, or sending it in for repair; so is our devices. Use privacy screen to block side angle viewing from shoulder surfers. Avoid accessing bank accounts, inputting passwords, or reviewing confidential documents while in crowded public spaces or on public transit. @ireteeh
