Device Security

Device security is the foundation of digital protection. The security of data and networks relies on the integrity of the devices used to manage them.

This field covers all measures taken to protect computers, smartphones, and tablets from hacking, theft, or physical and digital damage.

Protection starts with using updated operating systems, antivirus software, and strong passwords, as well as securing physical access through device locks, fingerprint technology, and facial recognition.

Common threats to device security include malware, identity theft, and connecting to unsecured public networks. Awareness of security practices and consistently applying them is the first line of defence against advanced cyber threats.
