Here are a few pointers:
Choosing passwords:
Using more letters, numbers and symbols while they may help, are not
infallible.
Five or six words may be of more help by increasing the random
possibilities.
Using a password manager:
These pick random
very long passwords that you do not need to remember.
They require a
very long password that you better not forget
Public Wi Fi:
Anyone can
easedrop and intercept a conversation
Avoid these if
possible
Use only a
trusted virtual private network (VPN)
Charging your phone:
Doing this in
public places is not a good idea (airports, etc)
Venerable to side
channel attacks.
If you must, turn
the phone off while charging
Decoys can help:
Download multiple
similar apps (ie. Bank apps) making it harder to find which is real.
Create multiple
“fake files” (ie. Tax returns, customer records) for the same reason
Technologists are continually looking for alternatives, so
stay on top of this subject.
How is your business protected?
