How to safeguard your devices? 

To safeguard your devices, it’s crucial to keep your Apple iOS and iPadOS devices up-to-date with the latest software versions, as these updates often contain essential security fixes. It’s advisable to promptly apply any security patches released by Apple, particularly those addressing vulnerabilities flagged by CERT-In. When connecting to networks, prioritize secure connections and refrain from using unsecured or public Wi-Fi networks to minimize the risk of unauthorized access. Additionally, enabling Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) can provide an extra layer of security, reducing the impact of credential compromises.

Exercise caution when downloading apps or software, and stick to trusted sources such as the Apple App Store to mitigate potential threats. Regularly backing up important data is essential to safeguard against data loss resulting from security breaches or system failures. Stay vigilant and stay informed about security alerts and advisories from reliable sources like CERT-In or Apple to take proactive measures against emerging threats and ensure the continued security of your devices.
