You’ll notice that
this advice isn’t much different than what we’d recommend to help you
secure your laptop or your desktop computer.
1. Protect your phone with a password. If
your phone is lost or stolen, you can go a long way toward protecting
your information if you’ve secured it with a password or a Personal
Identification Number (PIN). If you use your phone to access your
company’s email or intranet, chances are that they already require that
you protect it with a password or PIN. To learn how to protect your
Windows 7 phone with a password, see Lock screen FAQ.
For more information on how to choose a good password, see Create strong passwords.
2. Be careful when you install apps on your phone. Apps can do nearly everything
these days, from streamlining your social networking to changing the
channels on your TV. No matter what kind of phone you have, install apps
from a trusted source. For Windows Phone, you can only install apps
from the Zune Marketplace.
This means that they have been digitally signed, which reduces your
risk. (This is the same model used with Apple’s iPhone, but not with
Google’s Android phone.)
3. Install your phone's updates. Just like on your PC, you should install all updates for your phone and for the apps on your phone. To learn how to do this with a Windows Phone, see Windows Phone Update Solution.
4. Make sure your smartphone has a feature that helps you find it if you lose it or if it is stolen.
Windows 7 includes a “Find My Phone” feature that allows you to find a
lost phone, lock it remotely, and also wipe it remotely so that no one
can get access to the information there. For more information, see Find a lost phone. If you don't have a Windows Phone, you can usually install a third-party app that can do this for you.
