Just think of all the financial details, personal messages, banking apps, photos and contact information that live behind that little glass screen.<\/p>\n<p>And if your team use phones for work, they\u2019ll often have access straight into company systems \u2013&nbsp;email, contact lists, network access, file systems. So if they\u2019re not kept as secure as any other device in your workplace, they can become a gaping hole in your cyber security.<\/p>\n<p>Criminals know this, of course, which is why they target us through our phones just as much as they do through our networks and servers.<\/p>\n<p>But cyber crime isn\u2019t the only concern. Just losing your phone, or having it stolen, can put your data at huge risk.<\/p>\n<p>So, whether you issue company smartphones, or your employees use their own, you should make sure everyone implements some simple security steps to protect your data and avoid disaster.<\/p>\n<p>Start with making sure your people set up a PIN and a biometric login (like a fingerprint or face scan) to open the device.<\/p>\n<p>Only install apps from trusted sources to make sure you\u2019re using genuine software.<\/p>\n<p>And enable Multi-Factor Authentication on all apps that store even a small amount of sensitive data.<\/p>\n<p>Be careful about where you connect to Wi-Fi. If you work remotely or often connect to public networks, consider using a VPN \u2013 a Virtual Private Network \u2013 to add another layer of security. You never know who\u2019s monitoring traffic on a public network.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, ALWAYS make sure your phone is running the latest version of its operating software, and keep all apps up to date.<\/p>\n<p>Smartphones have changed so much about the way we live \u2013&nbsp;at home, and at work \u2013&nbsp;but it\u2019s too easy to take them for granted. And that could be a costly mistake.<\/p>\n<p>If you need help to keep your smartphones safe, just get in touch.<\/p>\n<p>Published with permission from Your Tech Updates.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Our phones are a goldmine of private information.
