1 Update your software

One of the easiest and most effective ways to secure your mobile device is to keep your software updated. Software updates often include patches for security vulnerabilities, bug fixes, and performance improvements. They also provide new features and functionalities that can enhance your user experience. You should always check for updates regularly and install them as soon as possible. You can also enable automatic updates to avoid missing any critical ones. Updating your software can prevent hackers from exploiting outdated or weak systems and protect your device from malware and other threats.

You can install the update after following the phone updates and checking whether the incoming updates are faulty. In this way, you will avoid problems.

Software updated are the most important. If you are not using the same software or keeping it up to par, it makes you very vulnerable for Trojan, Spyware, and malware.

2 Use strong passwords

Another simple but crucial security measure for your mobile device is to use strong passwords. Passwords are the first line of defense against unauthorized access to your device and your accounts. You should create passwords that are long, complex, and unique for each account. You should also avoid using common or predictable passwords, such as your name, birthday, or pet's name. You can use a password manager to generate and store your passwords securely. You should also change your passwords periodically and never share them with anyone. Using strong passwords can prevent hackers from guessing or cracking your credentials and accessing your sensitive data.

The screen lock password should be set for external attacks so that your phone stays safe. If there is no password, all your data will be available to be stolen by attackers.

- Les mots de passe les plus forts possible sont à partir de 12 caractères. Il faut alterner majuscule et caractères spéciaux. Ceci multipliant les possibilités et rendant encore plus difficile le crackage de vos mots de passe. - Activer l'authentification à double facteur lorsque cela est possible ou demandée. D'ailleurs cela deviens pratiquement une norme sur chaque sites et applications.

Los teléfonos celulares comúnmente usan contrase?a segura de pantalla para proteger el teléfono de accesos no autorizados, al menos 8 a 12 o más caracteres de longitud, con una combinación de números, letras mayúsculas, minúsculas y símbolos especiales.

While complex passwords are a key security method, two-factor authentication (2FA) is equally, if not more, important. Our experience has shown that many apps lacking 2FA have been compromised, regardless of password strength. This underscores the vital role of 2FA in enhancing digital security, as it adds an essential layer of protection beyond just passwords.

3 Enable encryption

Encryption is a process that converts your data into a code that can only be read by authorized parties. Encryption can protect your data from being intercepted, stolen, or tampered with by hackers or other malicious actors. You should enable encryption on your mobile device to secure your data in case your device is lost, stolen, or compromised. You can encrypt your device's storage, as well as your communication channels, such as email, messaging, and voice calls. You can also use encryption apps or services to encrypt your data before sending or storing it on cloud platforms. Enabling encryption can ensure that your data remains confidential and intact, even if your device falls into the wrong hands.

These days cloud providers provide comprehensive encryption and storage services. They ensure that data to and from the cloud is encrypted, and they also provide options to store data in an encrypted format. Additionally, these providers provide centralized control functionalities, enabling users to avail remote lock and remote erase services. This centralized approach is especially valuable when dealing with multiple devices, offering an efficient means to safeguard user data, particularly in situations involving lost devices.

Los chips TPM ayudan en este aspecto de forma importante. También los servicios de nube cuentan con cifrado en su almacenamiento y en la comunicación. Pero muchos cifrados cuentan con contrase?a así que si no intentas protegerla el cifrado no servirá de nada!

4 Install antivirus software

Antivirus software is a program that detects and removes viruses, malware, and other malicious software from your device. Malicious software can infect your device through various sources, such as downloads, attachments, links, or Bluetooth connections. They can damage your device, steal your data, monitor your activities, or hijack your resources. You should install antivirus software on your mobile device to scan and clean your device regularly. You should also update your antivirus software frequently to keep up with the latest threats. Installing antivirus software can protect your device from harmful software and improve its performance and stability.

5 Avoid public Wi-Fi

Public Wi-Fi is a wireless network that is available for anyone to use, such as in cafes, airports, or hotels. Public Wi-Fi can be convenient and cost-effective, but it can also be risky. Public Wi-Fi networks are often unsecured and unencrypted, which means that anyone on the same network can see or intercept your data. Hackers can also set up fake or rogue Wi-Fi networks to lure unsuspecting users and steal their data. You should avoid using public Wi-Fi for any sensitive or confidential tasks, such as banking, shopping, or logging into your accounts. You should also disable your Wi-Fi when not in use and use a VPN (virtual private network) to encrypt your data and hide your identity when using public Wi-Fi. Avoiding public Wi-Fi can prevent hackers from accessing your data and compromising your security.

6 Backup your data

Backup is a process that copies your data to another location, such as an external hard drive, a cloud service, or another device. Backup can protect your data from being lost, corrupted, or deleted due to device failure, theft, malware, or human error. You should backup your data regularly and automatically to ensure that you have a copy of your data in case of any emergency. You should also verify that your backup is working and complete and store it in a safe and secure place. Backing up your data can ensure that you can recover your data and restore your device in case of any disaster.

Another most important practice is to give least privileges to mobile apps. This prevents unnecessary sharing of personal or device information and makes sure mobile apps only have access to necessary data and permissions for them to function.
