“Individuals are at great risk from cyber attackers. Their personal information can be stolen, bank accounts emptied, and computers and data encrypted and held for ransom. The good news is that taking a few basic steps can greatly reduce your risk. That’s what the GCA Cybersecurity Toolkit for Individuals is designed to do.”
