Cybersecurity threats are becoming more frequent and more sophisticated. In our everyday lives, we are seeing, hearing, or experiencing these threats across many platforms. Threats to retirement plans are no exception. To help participants address the risk and potential cybersecurity threats to their retirement plan accounts, the Employee Benefits Security Administration (“EBSA”), released guidance for plan participants to help address these threats called “Online Security Tips”.  Sharing this guidance with your plan participants can help them reduce the risk of these threats to their retirement plan accounts. If you have any questions regarding this information, please contact our offices to discuss this further!
