Always use a password In Your Smart Phone
It is the most basic and sometimes we forget this step. Free access to your device's crazy. In a moment of forgetfulness anyone can access the files you have on it. Blocking patterns can happen, but a little greasy fingers can reveal too much.
Best is to use a 4-digit code, and even better, a strong password.
Download applications only from sources approved
Google Play Store and Apple App Store take security very seriously. They are very careful with the applications that are available and eliminate any security risks that entails.
Read user reviews before installing. If someone mentions anything related to security, not install it.
Upgrade your operating system
OS updates your device often bring important patches that fix security holes. You might want to notify you before automatically install them, or sometimes give any problems, but if you're forgetful better to suffer a problem with an incorrect update to allow access to cyber criminals.
Encrypt your device
Although important safety uses a thief always connect your phone to a computer and access your data. Encryption solutions overcome this problem by
Automatically disconnects the connection via WiFi
One of the great advantages of modern phones is that you can connect to the Internet in various ways, but for constant wireless network scans do they know who you are and where you are, and blindly connect a point not sure can cause serious problems security. So disable this option or use an application that minimizes these risks.
Disconnect the Bluetooth and NFC
If you are not using Bluetooth or NFC (near field communication) Keep them better off. Obviously they are two very good interconnected technologies to keep your device but it is also a back door for someone between your mobile phone. If you can not unplug it, put it in stealth mode. Also be very careful when you connect with another device. Never take one unknown.
Beware of links that you receive by email or SMS
Now you can get your email on your mobile phone, just like on your computer suspicious links you receive. The phishing is not unique in email, an SMS can also be used to enter your data into a false web.
Even just to answer an unknown SMS can attract attention on the bad.
Check the application permissions
Many applications require more permissions than are granted by default. For example, it is normal for an application to manage your SMS can send and receive a text message, or a geolocation application must have access to GPS.
But a calculator that has access to the network, or an alarm can access your contacts, you have no explanation and we should be wary in these cases.
