Cybersecurity Tip: Connected Devices
Securing your home network and devices has become more complex as new products are released. Devices with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth capability offer many benefits; however, there are also several dangers associated with their use.
Common products connected to your network that you may not be aware of:
- Smart phone/watch
- Home security & thermostat
- Home appliances
- Vehicles
- Virtual assistants
Here are some tips to help secure your devices and home network-
- Keep software updated:
Keeping your software, systems, and devices up to date is the simplest and most effective practice to mitigate risks tied to outdated and vulnerable software. - Disable unnecessary features:
Many devices come with features that you may not need, such as remote access or voice commands. Disable these features if you're not using them to reduce potential attacks. - Use a separate network:
Make sure your Wi-Fi network is set to private with a strong password. Consider a secondary Wi-Fi layer for guest use if needed.
