Your Phone: An Essential Component of Your Cyber Security Strategy

Our phones are more than just devices for making calls and sending messages. They hold a wealth of personal information, such as financial details, personal messages, banking apps, photos, and contact information. If your team uses phones for work, they likely have access to company systems like email, contact lists, network access, and file systems. Thus, it's essential to keep them as secure as any other device in your workplace to avoid becoming a potential target for cybercriminals.

It's not just cybercrime that you should be worried about either; losing your phone or having it stolen can put your data at risk too. That's why it's important to implement some simple security steps to protect your data and avoid a disastrous situation.

Start by ensuring that your team sets up a PIN and biometric login (like a fingerprint or face scan) to open the device. Only install apps from trusted sources to avoid using fake or malicious software. Enable multi-factor authentication on all apps that store sensitive data, and be cautious about connecting to Wi-Fi networks. If you work remotely or often connect to public networks, consider using a Virtual Private Network (VPN) to add an extra layer of security. It's essential to always make sure your phone is running the latest version of its operating software, and that all apps are up to date.
