Cyber Defense Tip:
Choosing a Strong and Secure Password

When choosing a password, it is important to come up with one that won't be guessed. Using multiple letters and numbers, making it longer than 6 characters, and changing your password often will help keep it strong and secure. It's also a good idea to use something you can remember. For example: make a password using the first letter from each word in your favorite song: "Can't Help Falling (in Love)" would be cHfIL. If it's your favorite song, you'll be sure to remember it!

No matter how strong your password is, it becomes useless if you give it away. If you have to write it down somewhere, don't leave it where other people might find it and don't tell your password to anyone!

Introductions

My name is Dr. Keen. I am the lab technician at Diagnostics at the Carnegie Cyber Academy. I run this blog and the lab with the help of my trusty robot, Scout. Pretty much, it means that I am responsible for building and maintaining all of the hardware and software systems used at the Academy and in Cyberspace.

I also fix computers that have been damaged in the attacks by various Cyber Villains. My hobby is creating little software programs that prevent those attacks from ever occuring. Cyber Villains are intelligent people and are always changing how they infiltrate and destroy a system, so I am always having to find new ways to stop them.
