Your phone probably has more access to your business than your laptop does, yet most business owners have barely thought about phone security. Banking apps, email, CRM, cloud storage, your password manager - it is all sitting there, one tap away from anyone who gets past your lock screen.
In this episode, Charly covers:
✅ Why your browser's saved password list is a serious risk, and what to use instead
✅ How to lock down the apps that matter with PIN or biometric protection
✅ The trade-offs of remote wipe tools like Find My iPhone and Find My Device
✅ Business-grade alternatives through Google Workspace, Zoho OneAuth and Microsoft 365
✅ Why public WiFi at cafes, hotels and airports needs a paid VPN every single time

Life is busy and there's just so many things to remember. What tools do you use to help you keep on top of ALL the things?

When investigating a security breach, it’s best not to rely on the date of a compromised file. That date may not be the “source of truth” you think it is and it may derail your investigation.
There’s a number of reasons for that and Charly covers that in today’s episode:
✅ Why you can’t rely on the date of the file
⚡ Why a suspicious looking file date still may not confirm anything
⭐ What actually protects your site from compromise
You can’t ignore the file, but you certainly can’t trust it. What do you think?
