October marks Cybersecurity Awareness Month, a time when individuals, organizations, and communities nationwide renew their commitment to staying safer online. This year’s focus is on practical steps everyone can take to protect their data, identity, and finances—and at CNB Bank, we’re doing our part with tools like Above the Cloud to keep you secure behind the scenes.
Why Cybersecurity Awareness Matters
Cyber threats evolve fast. Phishing scams, spoofed calls, malware, and account takeover attempts are constant risks. By staying vigilant and practicing good digital habits, you play a crucial role in protecting your own data. During Cybersecurity Month, think of adopting one or two small habits—like reviewing passwords, enabling two-factor authentication, or watching for suspicious emails—that reinforce your online safety each week.
How CNB’s Above the Cloud Protects You
Your security is our priority. CNB’s Above the Cloud fraud mitigation tools run quietly in the background—integrated into CNB Now and CNB BizNow—to provide continuous, real-time monitoring and detection of suspicious activity. Because these tools work seamlessly behind the scenes, you can bank with confidence knowing your transactions are being watched for anomalies, without extra steps on your part.
Tips to Strengthen Your Digital Defenses
Use strong, unique passwords and consider using a password manager.
Enable multi-factor authentication (MFA) wherever possible.
Be cautious with emails, texts, or calls asking for personal or account details. CNB will never ask for your password, debit card number, CVV, or verification codes via unsolicited contact.
Keep devices and software updated; patches help block vulnerabilities before they’re exploited.
Regularly review your accounts for unusual activity and report concerns immediately.
As we recognize Cybersecurity Awareness Month, remember that strong security isn't just a one-time task—it’s an ongoing habit. With tools like Above the Cloud, CNB Bank is committed to keeping your information protected, but the most powerful defense starts with awareness. Stay informed, stay alert, and take a few extra moments to double-check before you click, share, or respond. Together, we can build a safer digital future—this October and beyond.
