# SITS Tips

---

We’re here to make your IT life easier. Whether you’re just getting started or looking to get better, think of us as part of your team.

Restart isn’t a fix-all, but it’s a first step.

A simple restart clears cached processes that can eat up resources or cause performance issues.

Email is still the #1 attack vector.

If you weren’t expecting it, don’t click it - especially if it creates “urgency.” Hackers will often create email addresses that are disguised as your coworker's. 

Your router is a computer.

It needs firmware updates too!
