With the progressively changing technology, digital transformation and portability
of mobile devices, it is almost impossible to accomplish certain chores without
using gadgets and cell phones. These days, people have become reliant on their
devices heavily to carry out their day-to-day activities which involve, but not limited
to setting up reminders, surfing the web pages, sharing files, video calling, instant
messaging and mobile banking. With such functionalities and performance,
devices are not just vulnerable to online hacks but are also susceptible to physical
thefts.
Here are some preventive steps to be taken to ensure the security of
your devices from any physical theft:

Lock Your Device with Strong Passwords/ Biometrics:

Well it sounds obvious, but using a PIN, strong passwords or biometrics such as
fingerprint authentication not only adds an extra layer of protection to your device,
but it makes slow the attackers significantly and help you get the time to track and
recover your device.

Make Sure About Logging Out From Your Accounts:

When you are done with the mobile applications, web pages, especially those are
linked with another, make sure you have logged out from your accounts. This is one
of the most common mistakes people do, they even use unauthorized computers
or others' devices, open applications via different accounts and leave the pages
without logging out. In this way, they give access to any third-party to view their
private data.

Use Device Tracking Software/App:

Yes! Recovering your stolen device back is possible if your device itself tells you the
location via remote control. You can even be able to communicate with the person
who found it. There are some device tracking software/ apps available through
which you can easily track and monitor your device and receiver the same as early
as possible if it is stolen. When it comes to the features of ‘Lookout’ specifically, this
app makes the most effective possible use of GPS receiver in the Android Phones.

Don't Leave Your Devices Unattended:

Leaving your devices unattended in a car, restaurant or at the airport means you are
tempting thieves to steal your devices. According to a recent survey, it has been
estimated that around 12% of mobile phones were stolen from an airport, bus and
other public transportation, 5-7 devices from cars and 11% from coffee shops and
restaurants. Your small negligence can cause you loss of your data that you may not
recover back. 02
 Backup Your Data:
Backup is important because in case you can't recover your stolen device, you don't
lose your data and files. Regular backup provides an ultimate defence against
physical theft. These days, you may find plenty of options for data backup and
recovery. You can opt for the online backup, which is a smart choice to ensure the
security of your data while reducing the pain that comes from recreating the same
content or data.
Well, keeping your device secured against any physical theft is not as easy as it
seems, but it should be your primary priority. Every day you may come across new
vulnerabilities associated with your device, it is important that you are aware of all
of them to keep your device safe from any suspicious activity. The above-
