Overview: Your devices hold a lot of personal and work-related information. Ensuring they’re secure helps prevent unauthorised access.

Best Practices:

• Keep software, apps, and operating systems updated

• Use antivirus and anti-malware software

• Secure your Wi-Fi network with a strong password

• Avoid connecting to unsecured public Wi-Fi without a VPN

Example Scenario: Lina often connects to public Wi-Fi at cafés without using a VPN. One day, her login details are stolen and used to access her email and cloud storage. Using a VPN and avoiding sensitive tasks on public networks would have protected her.
