Securing Wireless Devices in Public Settings

This infosheet gives National Security System (NSS), Department of Defense (DoD),

conducting business in public settings. It describes how to identify potentially vulnerable
connections and protect common wireless technologies, and lists steps users can take
to help secure their devices and data. While these best practices cannot ensure data
and devices are fully protected, they do provide protective measures users can employ
to improve their cybersecurity and reduce their risks.
