Bharat Bhise HNA on Mobile Cybersecurity Tips

Bharat Bhise HNA finds that many people don’t realize how vulnerable their mobile phones are to malicious attacks. Often, people only rely on built-in security functions within their mobile phone’s operating systems. Regardless of whether it’s iOS or Android, there are still risks and vulnerabilities in the operating system. And there are even more ways that a user may unintentionally put their mobile at risk that the OS can’t do anything about.

It always pays to remember that your phone holds a significant amount of personal data, along with access to all your accounts and photos. To ensure that data doesn’t fall into the wrong hands, Bharat Bhise HNA recommends the following:

1. Install an antivirus app

Just as in a PC, a phone will also need its specialized antivirus app. This is vital for people who do a lot of web browsing on their phone or rely on it a lot during travel. Malware could stand to glean a great deal of personal information out of your phone as you use it, so keep them from getting in.

2. Regularly apply the updates

It’s become something of a running gag online that people refuse to accept software updates on their computers or phones. But periodically updating the software on your phone and its apps employ the latest security patches available to them. Bharat Bhise HNA says that it’s no different from updating the locks in your home.

3. Connect only to secure WiFi

If you’re not on your phone data and will be connecting to a WiFi network, make sure it’s a secure one. Unsecured WiFi networks are prime hunting grounds for a hacker to intercept data traveling from the access point to your phone and vice versa, and they can mine that data for their use. Whenever possible, use a virtual network to encrypt your data.

Bharat Bhise HNA knows that for many people, their whole lives could be on their phones. By keeping your phones secure, you’ll be able to protect your most personal data and prevent prying eyes from using that info for the wrong reasons.
