WiFi/Hotspot security guidelines
1. Turn “On” the HotSpot when required . Keep it “Off” by default.2. On the HotSpot , if available , use option “ Allow Selected Devices “ 3. Always turn off the Wifi and bluetooth features on your devices until
you need to use them. Its not only secure but also saves on battery life.
4. Never share your hotspot passwords. 5. When using Windows OS select the Network Location option
“Public” when prompted. It is most secure to use. 6. Keep your antivirus software updated.7. Change your default hotspot SSID. 8. If using hotspots in public areas like hotels, cafe's, airports etc. avoid
sensitive tasks eg. Banking transactions. 9. You can disable WiFi SSID broadcasting from your hotspot settings
to avoid unwanted connection attempts to your personal hotspot. This will also require that you configure your device to connect to the hotspot in non broadcasting mode.
As additional security measures consider :- Turning off any shared folders or at least setting a password to make them accessible in a secure fashion.
For any assistance feel free to contact your IT support.
