8 Cyber Security Tips
for Business Travellers
Being on the go in an increasingly online world has both its perks and downfalls. You're always
connected to one another via an electronic device but that also leads to countless amounts
of personal information being exposed to the world wide web. If your information falls into
wrong hands, it will spell disaster. So, here are simple yet useful tips to ensure your information
and online activities stay well-protected.
Unknown Sources
Downloading third party apps on
your Android devices is much
easier to do compared to an iOS
device. However, by enabling the
device to download from
unknown sources also brings
about unknown software and
content which may or may not
come from a credible source.
Devices generally have this
function turned off until you
manually enable it. To be sure,
Android users are able to check
with this toggle under
Settings>Security>Unknown
Sources. iOS users will need to
download a developer app from
the App Store before
downloading third party apps.
Anti-Virus
One of the easiest way to ensure
you do not receive irrelevant as
well as untrustworthy content,
install an anti-virus software. In
addition to that, ensure that your
software is regularly updated
with newer versions. Installing
one anti-virus software is more
than enough. If you're unsure
which software to install, Avast
and AVG anti-virus software
comes highly recommended.
Clear Cache
Clearing your cache on electronic
devices allows your phone, tablet
or laptop to have more storage
and also prevents your browser
or app to retain personal
information for tracking purposes.
This will prove crucial to do if you
carry out online banking activities.
