Volunteer Advantage: Cybersecurity

Welcome to Volunteer Advantage, your go-to source for updates and information as a volunteer at UVM Health Network's Home Health and Hospice. In this episode, we delve into the crucial topic of cybersecurity, focusing on three main points to help you keep sensitive information secure.

Firstly, we discuss the importance of creating strong, dynamic passwords. Learn what makes a good password and why it's vital to change it regularly. Discover tips on creating passwords that are hard to guess yet memorable for you.

Next, we guide you on how to identify and avoid phishing emails that aim to steal your login credentials. Recognize red flags such as unfamiliar senders and unexpected attachments, and know the steps to take if you suspect an email might be a scam.

Lastly, we emphasize the importance of maintaining patient confidentiality by avoiding the printing of sensitive information. Adhering to these cybersecurity practices not only protects our systems but also ensures the privacy of our clients.

Thank you for your dedication and commitment to keeping our network secure. If you have any questions or require assistance, please reach out to your volunteer coordinator.
