Secure Your Personal Device

Portable devices, such as phones, tablets and laptops have become an essential part of modern life.

Many of us use our devices for banking, email and shopping – all of which involve sensitive or personal information. Secure your personal device by taking these precautions:

• Lock your device with a passphrase, password, pin or biometrics
• Regularly back up your files
• Encrypt your portable devices
• Set your device to lock after a short time of inactivity
• Treat your portable device like your wallet
• Thoroughly remove sensitive and personal information before selling or disposing of your device
