\"Don't<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Our phones are a goldmine of private information. Just think of all the financial details, personal messages, banking apps, photos and contact information that live behind that little glass screen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And if your team use phones for work, they\u2019ll often have access straight into company systems \u2013 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\n\n\n

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\n\n\n

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\n\n\n

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\n\n\n

What to consider<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

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\n\n\n

Only install apps from trusted sources to make sure you\u2019re using genuine software.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And enable Multi-Factor Authentication on all apps that store even a small amount of sensitive data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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\n\n\n

Finally, ALWAYS make sure your phone is running the latest version of its operating software, and keep all apps up to date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smartphones have changed so much about the way we live \u2013 at home, and at work \u2013 but it\u2019s too easy to take them for granted. And that could be a costly mistake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you need help to keep your smartphones safe, just get in touch.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
