Your smartphone is your office, your bank, and your social life all in one. But did you know it’s also one of the biggest entry points for hackers? In this episode of "Breaking Down I.T. with Steve," we're diving deep into the critical world of mobile and wireless security. We’ll show you why your devices and the networks you connect to are far more vulnerable than you think, and how simple steps can protect your business and personal data.
We’ll break down the best practices you need to follow, starting with your devices. We'll explain why using a combination of strong passwords and biometrics is your best defense against stolen passwords and why keeping your phone and all your apps updated is non-negotiable. These updates aren't just for new features—they're for closing security holes.
Then, we'll shift to securing your wireless connection. We'll show you why you should never connect to public Wi-Fi without a VPN, which encrypts your data and shields it from prying eyes. We’ll also explain why you must change the default password on your home or office router, turning it from a security risk into a secure fortress.
From password managers to what to do if your phone is lost or stolen, we’ll cover everything you need to know to lock down your mobile life for good. Tune in to learn how a little effort goes a long way in protecting your business and your data.
