Safe Surfing

Keep operating systems updated with anti-virus software, block pop-up windows and proceed with caution when visiting websites.

General Protection

Be sure all devices are password protected and use auto-lockout at all times. Do not leave your devices unattended for any reason.

Encryption

If you are storing PHI and/or other highly confidential data on any device, encryption is required.

Bluetooth / Wi-Fi

Wireless access should be disabled when not in use to prevent automatic connections. Avoid insecure “wi-fi hot spots” whenever possible.

Be cautious—always research first--when installing software and review application permissions to avoid unnecessary sharing.
