In the aftermath of the Salt Typhoon cyberattack, Americans are being urged to switch to encrypted apps to shield their communications. This serves as a stark reminder of the vulnerabilities in our networks - and it’s not just relevant for the U.S. In today’s geopolitical climate, protecting sensitive or high-value information is essential for everyone. To safeguard your mobile communications, here are five critical DON’Ts you need to follow:   ❌ Don't use the built in Messages app on iPhone or Android ❌ Don't have voice calls using the built in Phone app on iPhone or Android ❌ Don't rely on RCS (Rich Communication Services) to encrypt your messages ❌ Don't rely on WiFi calling to add any encryption ❌ Don’t forget that a VPN will not add any encryption to calls or texts as they don't make use of IP networks   Even with end-to-end encryption, your security can be compromised if the devices at either end are insecure. For true peace of mind, coc00n device protection safeguards your information and secures your devices.   #SaltTyphoon #cybersecurity #cyberattack #mobiledevicesecurity #securedevices

For high-value or high-risk individuals, these risks are real and personal. In our latest blog for Cyber Security Awareness Month by COO Harry G., we share 5 essential tips for securing family devices.  Read more to learn how to strengthen your family’s digital defences 👇 #CybersecurityAwarenessMonth #cybersecurity #mobiledevices #mobiledevicesecurity #informationsecurity

📢 Communicating with board members is crucial for any organisation, especially in the realm of cyber security. A disconnect between decision-makers and technical experts can lead to significant challenges.   From the technical side, it may feel like there’s a lack of support or resources. From the board’s perspective, there might seem to be an absence of a clear plan or action. Aligning these two groups is essential for organisational success. 👇 This guidance from the National Cyber Security Centre for Cyber Security Awareness Month explores how technical staff can effectively approach, advise, and collaborate with board members to achieve the best outcomes. #CyberMonth2024 #CyberSecurity #CyberRisk #CISO
