Smartwatches and wearable devices are useful tools for monitoring health, receiving notifications, and making payments, but they also store sensitive personal data that can be targeted by cyber threats. Because these devices collect information such as health metrics, location, and financial details, protecting them from unauthorized access is essential.
Email is one of the commonly used methods for communication and data sharing. However, without encryption, emails can potentially be accessed by third parties. Encrypting emails can prevent hackers from gaining access to the sensitive data within the email. In Outlook, you can encrypt your email if you want to prevent access to emails containing sensitive information or data, so that only the intended user will know and see your email.
Properly disposing of old electronic devices helps protect both the environment and personal data. Many gadgets contain harmful materials and sensitive information, so it’s important to back up files, erase data, remove batteries, and use certified recycling centers or donation options to handle them responsibly.
