Protect your information and your equipment

We tell you the steps to follow to help you improve the protection on all your devices.

Maintain control over your devices

To prevent third parties from accessing the information on your devices, activate the 'automatic lock' and 'find my phone' options whenever possible. With the latter you can block and erase it remotely.

1

Choose automatic updates

The updates on your phone, computer, and applications often include security enhancements. To take advantage of them from day one, check your settings and choose automatic updates whenever possible.

2

Decide when to connect

Desactivate the automatic connection to Wi-Fi networks option; this way, you will be in control of deciding where and when you want to connect. When you are connected to public networks, avoid making bank transactions and online purchases.

3

Browse securely

Web pages that start with HTTPS (instead of HTTP) are usually more secure. When you are on an https page, your browser bar will display a padlock on the left-hand side.
