| When you’re on the road, protecting your business means protecting your data. Here are five ways to make hackers’ jobs a whole lot harder. |
|
|
|
Accessing a network that doesn’t require passwords is like an open invitation to eavesdrop. Remember that networks asking you to consent to terms of service – like those at many hotels or coffee shops – still present risks; thieves can gain access to your data simply by lurking on the same network. |
|
|
Today’s smartphones can transform into portable Wi-Fi routers. So-called “tethering” can boost security as long as you configure your mobile device with a password. |
|
|
If you must use public Wi-Fi, a virtual private network (VPN) can act as a secure tunnel between your device and your data’s destination, like a website or email server. If you don’t have your own company VPN, third-party VPN services (some free, some not) can provide similar protection. |
|
|
In the event any of your devices – PC, tablet or smartphone –
is lost or stolen, full-disk encryption offers additional protection
for your sensitive data. Although newer devices come with encryption capabilities, it’s up to you to enable them by choosing the right settings. |
|
|
Without the latest software updates, your system is, literally, full of security holes. Don’t overlook this simple step. Put operating system, anti-virus and personal firewall updates on your next packing list. |
