Network security

Your network is only as secure as its most vulnerable component. Security vulnerabilities risk allowing unintentional access to your network and its connected wireless and wired devices.

To ensure that your network is secure, as a minimum you should:

• Regularly check for security updates for all your wireless and wired networked devices.

• For applicable devices, ensure you use a reputable antivirus program with the latest virus definitions.

• Always use the strongest encryption type for your router’s access point settings.

• Use a strong router access point password (i.e. a longer password such as a memorable phrase).

• Change your password periodically.

• Be cautious who you share your password with.

• If you need to write down your password, ensure it is kept in a secure place where it is not easily viewable.
