Security Tips for Using Wi-Fi Facilities

When using public Wi-Fi networks to access the Internet, you should always be aware of the security implications. The Government Wi-Fi facilities have put in place appropriate security measures, such as peer-to-peer blocking to prevent hacking or attack by neighbour wireless users, and content filtering to guard against unintended access to indecent content.

You should pay attention to both the physical security of your mobile device and access control at the software level such as password protection, personal firewall settings and data encryption. You should also install up-to-date patches, as well as anti-virus and anti-spyware definition files. Handy tips are available for using Wi-Fi facilities in public through the following link.
