iPad best practices:
-
Use a passcode/passphrase to lock the device after inactivity – typically no more than 10 minutes of inactivity should trigger this.
-
When choosing between unsecured Wi-Fi and 3G/4G service, always opt for the cellular data service, as it is typically significantly more secure than unsecured Wi-Fi. If accessing sensitive/protected data, never use unsecured Wi-Fi unless you have access to a VPN client.
