Securing Your Devices
Device security is important to reducing cybersecurity threats. Following some best practices can help ensure your device and information protection from cybercriminals.
Safe Surfing
Keep operating systems updated with anti-virus software, block pop-up windows and proceed with caution when visiting websites.
General Protection
Be sure all devices are password protected and use auto-lockout at all times. Do not leave your devices unattended for any reason.
Encryption
If you are storing PHI and/or other highly confidential data on any device, encryption is required.
Bluetooth/WiFi
Wireless access should be disabled when not in use to prevent automatic connections. Avoid insecure “wi-fi hot spots” whenever possible.
Software
Be cautious—always research first--when installing software and review application permissions to avoid unnecessary sharing.
Passwords
Change your passwords every 3 months. A password vault such as LastPass, Dashlane and 1Password helps keep you secure with auto-fill, generation and management.
