Here are your Mobile Cyber Security Tips for today! While you take precautions to protect your laptop, router, and even the Internet of Things, don’t forget to protect your smartphone, too.
Today’s phones are much more than devices for making calls. It’s a GPS, a camera, a method to watch videos or play games. However, don’t forget that you can also access sensitive information with it. Your bank account, emails, passwords to multiple accounts, and credit cards. Even your fingerprints!
There are several ways you can protect yourself and your data on your smartphone.
First, lock your screen when you aren’t using your phone. Set it to automatically lock after a specified amount of time of no activity in case you forget to lock it.
Next, disable WiFi and Bluetooth except when you are using them.
Install updates when they are released. You can set your phone to auto-install updates at night when you are asleep.
