00:00:02.897 --> 00:00:04.058
- The Department of Homeland Security's

00:00:04.058 --> 00:00:05.709
Science and Technology Directorate

00:00:05.709 --> 00:00:08.429
is working hard to secure
critical infrastructure.

00:00:08.429 --> 00:00:10.416
Through the Cyber Apex
Program we're bringing

00:00:10.416 --> 00:00:12.491
cybersecurity tools and technologies

00:00:12.491 --> 00:00:14.029
to the finance sector.

00:00:14.029 --> 00:00:16.323
Here's how you can stay safe online.

00:00:16.323 --> 00:00:19.204
For online banking use strong passwords.

00:00:19.204 --> 00:00:20.994
Use lowercase and uppercase letters,

00:00:20.994 --> 00:00:23.154
numbers, and special characters.

00:00:23.154 --> 00:00:24.652
Don't use the same password that you use

00:00:24.652 --> 00:00:26.903
for banking on your email sites,

00:00:26.903 --> 00:00:29.212
social networks, or shopping networks.

00:00:29.212 --> 00:00:32.530
And lastly if offered use
two-factor authentication.

00:00:32.530 --> 00:00:34.084
This allows your bank to validate you

00:00:34.084 --> 00:00:35.383
not only through your password,

00:00:35.383 --> 00:00:36.864
but also through a text or email.

00:00:36.864 --> 00:00:39.447
