Digital Safety 101: Keep Your Data Secure
About Lesson

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
