Don’t Let Your Computer Get Haunted!

Hey there, creeps and ghouls! It's your favorite bio-exorcist, Beetlejuice, here to give you the lowdown on keeping your digital digs free from those pesky cyber-poltergeists. You think I'm a nightmare? Wait 'til you see what happens when your computer catches a case of the heebie-jeebies!

1. Endpoint Threat Protection: Your Digital Garlic

Listen up, breathers! You wouldn't leave your house without locking the door, would ya? So why leave your computer wide open for every Tom, Dick, and Hacky to waltz right in? Get yourself some endpoint threat protection software, pronto! It's like garlic for your computer - keeps the nasties out and makes your breath smell terrible. Win-win!

2. Anti-Phishing: Don't Take the Bait, Sucker!

You know what's worse than being eaten by a sand worm? Falling for a phishing scam! These digital con artists are slicker than snake oil and twice as slimy. They'll send you emails prettier than Lydia Deetz, promising riches, love, or a chance to extend your car's warranty. Don't bite!

Remember:

1. If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. (Unless it's me offering to marry you for a green card. That's 100% legit.)
2. Check those email addresses like you're searching for cursed artifacts. One letter off? Send it to the Netherworld!
3. Hover over links before clicking. If they look shadier than my past, don't touch 'em!

3. Malware Pop-Ups: The Uninvited Guests

Ah, malware pop-ups - the uninvited guests of the digital world. They're like me at a dinner party - loud, obnoxious, and impossible to get rid of without the right tools. But unlike me, they're not here to liven up the joint.

To keep these digital demons at bay:

1. Keep your software updated. It's like changing your underwear - do it regularly, or things get nasty.
2. Don't click on flashy ads promising to speed up your computer. That's like asking a witch doctor to cure your baldness - you'll end up with a hexed hairpiece and an empty wallet.
3. Use an ad-blocker. It's like a "No Soliciting" sign for your browser, except it actually works.

4. Bonus: The Power of the Backup!

Let’s face it—sometimes, no matter how careful you are, the ghosts get in. That’s why I always say: “Backup, backup, backup!” It’s like having a digital Ouija board, so even if things go south, you can summon your files from the beyond (aka the cloud). Keep regular backups, either to the cloud or an external drive, and you’ll never lose your precious data to the great beyond.

The Beetlejuice Guarantee

Follow these tips, and your computer, and company, will be safter then a soul in the waiting room of netherworld! And remember if threat response and vulnerability management are keeping you up at night, just say "Workpact" 3 times. Let Workpact show you how ServiceNow’s Security Operations suite can help you respond to threats more quickly and prioritize vulnerabilities more efficiently.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I've got a date with a bug-infested hard drive. It's showtime!
