ValorTech CEO Bryan Sevener visits FOX6 Milwaukee to highlight Cybersecurity Awareness Month and provide a high-level guide to essential digital hygiene for consumers and businesses.

MILWAUKEE, WI — October 10, 2023 — With cyber threats reaching record highs, Bryan Sevener, CEO of ValorTech, appeared on FOX6 Milwaukee to promote Cybersecurity Awareness Month and share essential strategies for protecting personal and professional data.

During the segment, Sevener emphasized that while cyberattacks are becoming more sophisticated, the vast majority of breaches can be prevented through basic "digital hygiene." He provided viewers with a checklist of the most effective, low-effort security measures available to the average user.

Key cybersecurity insights provided by Bryan Sevener in the FOX6 report include:

The Power of Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA): Sevener identified MFA as the single most important step a user can take, noting that even if a password is stolen, an extra layer of verification can block the vast majority of unauthorized login attempts.
Smart Password Management: He encouraged the use of password managers to create and store long, unique, and complex passphrases, moving away from the dangerous habit of reusing simple passwords across multiple sites.
The "Update Often" Rule: Sevener explained that software updates often include critical security patches for newly discovered vulnerabilities. He urged viewers to enable "automatic updates" on all devices to stay ahead of bad actors.
Recognizing Phishing Attempts: He provided tips on spotting suspicious emails and text messages—such as urgent language or slightly misspelled sender addresses—which remain the primary entry point for most digital scams.

"Cybersecurity doesn't have to be overwhelming," said [Name/Title]. "As Bryan Sevener shared on FOX6, simple, consistent habits are often the strongest defense against even the most advanced digital threats."

ValorTech remains committed to empowering the Milwaukee community with the knowledge and tools needed to stay secure in an increasingly connected world.
