With today’s devices, the entire world can be at our fingertips. With this valuable and constantly growing technology, it becomes more and more important that we keep our devices secure and our personal information safe. A stolen smartphone can be merely an inconvenience, or it can present a risk of identity theft.
The Canadian Wireless Telecommunications Association (CWTA) offers resources to promote the safe use of mobile devices and to help consumers reduce risk. “Protect Your Data. Protect Yourself” is an industry-led initiative designed to help ensure Canadian mobile users have the information they need to keep their personal information safe and secure.
Set a password on your phone.
