The way of the world now is that everyone has a smart device. Whether you are a child or an adult, you are familiar with smart devices. From an iPad, to a droid cellphone, to a Kindle Fire the world has definitely evolved in this area of mobile devices. We use these devices to get through everyday life. Even now in school, teachers have been implementing apps and the use of these electronics to teach and connect with their students. Being that everyone are using these devices, the main question now is....how can you secure your device? People tend to believe that mobile devices are already secure but that is not necessarily true. Users must be educated on the fact that there are apps that aren't secure and malware can attack your device as well. Here are a few tips on keeping your device and information safe.
- Lock your device when stepping away from it.
- Minimize the sensitive data you store on the mobile device.
- If misplaced quickly go to your "Find Me" app to locate and lock your device.
- Download a mobile security app from a trusted company like Norton or McAfee
Be mindful of what you keep on your mobile device, what you download, where you surf online, and who has access to your devices!
