Safety on Social
A daily dose of social media is the norm for us all. But how do we manage our digital footprint to successfully ensure our social safety?
What is my digital footprint?
Your digital footprint describes the entirety of the information which you post online, including photos and status updates. This is publicly available information which can be accessed by criminals to steal your identity or use it to make phishing emails seem more authentic.
Aimed specifically at business, the CPNI Digital Footprint Campaign has lots of helpful resources to help us understand the impact of our digital footprint.
