10iPad 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.
