Smart phones can be hacked and most of us don’t know it even
happened. Here’s how to stay on top of smart phone and mobile device security,
both with personal and business devices.
Security and Safety Tips
Cloud-based programs are generally good, secure virtual “filing
cabinets” for documents, maps, blueprints, photos, and much more. They can also
be easy access storage sites for hackers. Be sure your Cloud service has strong
security steps in place for you and for them. Also, never save sensitive data
where others can open it, view it, and share it without your permission.
Email, contact names and phone numbers, places visited, and
location identifying services are all prime for cyber thieves. These are the items
that are the most valuable. Unless you really need to use GPS services, turn
off location identification and places visited apps on social networks. Also, don’t
use unsecure Wi-Fi. Shop for personal Wi-Fi devices which most digital and
smart phones come with these days.
Risk Reduction
Even corporate smart phones and digital devices are not 100
percent secure. When assigned these devices, ask what processes are in place to
keep all communication secure. Only use these devices for business, and not
personal matters. Any function, contact, email or website visited is subject
for Information Technology departments, supervisors, managers and CEOs to view.
Enterprises TV urges consumers to be careful using smart phones and devices at
all times.
