•  

• Update Your OS: Regularly update your phone’s operating system to patch security vulnerabilities.
• Install Apps from Trusted Sources: Only download apps from official app stores (Google Play Store, Apple App Store).
• App Permissions: Review app permissions and grant only necessary access (e.g., don’t give a flashlight app access to your contacts).
• Use a Screen Lock: Set up a PIN, pattern, or biometric lock (fingerprint or face recognition).
• Avoid Public Wi-Fi for Sensitive Transactions: Use a VPN if you must connect to public Wi-Fi.
• Enable Find My Phone: Activate this feature to track your phone if it’s lost or stolen.
• Be Cautious with Text Messages and Links: Avoid clicking on suspicious links or responding to unknown numbers.

Penetration Testing simulates real-world attacks to identify vulnerabilities and assess security posture, While vulnerability Scanning is an automated process that identifies known vulnerabilities without exploiting them.

A VPN (Virtual Private Network) creates a secure, encrypted connection over a public network (such as the internet). It ensures privacy and confidentiality by masking the user’s IP address and encrypting data traffic.

Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) adds an extra layer of security to your accounts. Here’s how it works:

1. Something You Know: Your regular password (the first factor).

2. Something You Have: A second factor, such as a text message with a one-time code, an authentication app (like Google Authenticator), or a hardware token.

By combining these two factors, 2FA ensures that even if someone knows your password, they can’t access your account without the second factor.
