Celebrating Cybersecurity Awareness Month

October is Cybersecurity Awareness Month, and here at Parke Bank, your online security is our top priority. In today's digital age, cyber threats are evolving, and we want to ensure that you have the tools and knowledge to stay safe while banking online.

Here are a few simple steps you can take to protect your personal and financial information:

1. Enable Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)

Adding an extra layer of security to your accounts helps keep your information safe, even if your password is compromised.

1. Use Strong, Unique Passwords

A strong password includes a mix of letters, numbers, and symbols. Avoid using the same password for multiple accounts.

1. Beware of Phishing Scams

Cybercriminals often pose as legitimate companies through emails, texts, or phone calls. Never provide personal information or click on suspicious links.

1. Monitor Your Accounts Regularly

Keep an eye on your bank statements and transactions. Report any unusual activity immediately.

1. Update Your Software

Ensure that all your devices are running the latest software updates to protect against vulnerabilities.

As we observe Cybersecurity Awareness Month, remember that staying informed and proactive is key to safeguarding your digital life. By following these simple yet effective steps, you can significantly reduce the risk of cyber threats and enjoy a safer online banking experience.
