    \n
  1. Don\u2019t be tricked into giving away confidential information; \u00a0make sure you do not respond to emails or phone calls requesting confidential information. Report any suspicious activity to IT and\/or your manager.<\/li>\n
  2. Don\u2019t use an unprotected computer; ensure to use a computer that has latest approved security software prior to viewing and company information (particularly if you are viewing the material from an internet caf\u00e9 or shared computer)<\/li>\n
  3. Don\u2019t leave sensitive information on your desk; Keep them safe by locking them in a drawer or have them destroyed \u2013 shredded securely using a registered Data Processor.<\/li>\n
  4. Lock your computer and mobile phone when not in use; Keeps your data and contacts safe from prying eyes.<\/li>\n
  5. Stay Alert and report suspicious activity; In case something goes wrong and the sooner you report the issue the faster it can be dealt with.<\/li>\n
  6. Password-protect sensitive files and devices; Protecting your devices with strong passwords means you make it incredibly difficult to break in and steal data.<\/li>\n
  7. Always use hard-to-guess passwords;\u00a0Make sure to use complex passwords not just 12345 or abcdef but \u201cG$4s1KoOl\u201d for example. (It is used more often than you think.)<\/li>\n
  8. Be cautious of suspicious emails and links; don\u2019t let curiosity get the best of you. If it sounds too good to be true it probably is.<\/li>\n
  9. Don\u2019t plug in personal devices without the OK from IT; Personal devices can be compromised with code waiting to launch as soon as you plug them into the computer.<\/li>\n
  10. Don\u2019t install unauthorised programs on your work computer; If you like an application and think it would be useful, contact IT to look into it for you before installing.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
