October Is the Month to Reset Security Habits
Frank Amato uses Cybersecurity Awareness Month every year to reinforce the basics with Tennessee clients — not new technology, just habits that quietly prevent most incidents.
Q1: What’s habit number one?
Pause before clicking any link or attachment that creates urgency — the single most effective habit against phishing.
Q2: What’s habit number two?
Use a unique password for every account, managed through a password manager rather than memory or repetition.
Q3: What’s habit number three?
Lock your screen every time you step away, even for a minute — a small habit that closes a surprisingly common physical security gap.
Q4: What are habits four and five?
Verify unusual requests (like a payment change) through a second channel before acting, and report anything suspicious immediately rather than assuming it’s nothing.
Final Word
Security software matters, but these five habits, practiced consistently, prevent more incidents than any single tool. DirecTech runs awareness training for Tennessee teams year-round.
