Enhancing the First Line of Defense | Home & Cyber Security

With the craziness of life, it can be easy to accidentally let things slip your mind. It’s not until something disrupts our plans that we take a step back and evaluate our routines. 

In our latest issue, Laura Kostad interviewed two community experts on security of both tangibles and intangibles; Aaron Clem of the KPD and Christopher Grow, owner of TCT Computer Solutions. Here are a few tips that they each shared to enhance our home and cybersecurity!

Home Security tips with Aaron Clem of the KDP:

• Check that all doors are locked and dead bolted at night and before leaving the house.

• If you have to park on the street, park under the nearest streetlight.
