What this Cyber IQ and why it matters:
CyberIQ is a portal that gives you a clear, personalized view of your daily security habits and how they compare to your colleagues. Think of it as a fitness trackerâbut for your digital security. It helps you understand what you’re doing well and where you can improve, all while keeping your personal data safe.
If we were to ask you, âHow well are you protecting yourself online?â or âAre you more security-savvy than your peers?ââwhat would you say?
Most people think theyâre doing fine, but the truth is, you donât know what you donât know. Small habitsâlike reusing passwords, clicking on a suspicious link, or delaying software updatesâcan add up to real risks.
This portal gives you hard data, not just guesswork. It shows you exactly where you stand, whatâs working, and what small changes can make a big impact.
