Devices like smartphones, tablets and PCs are getting more and more secure, but hackers are getting better at attacking them too.

So if you've just bought a new device, or haven't looked at your security settings for a while, you should take some time to make sure you're protected against the latest threats. Fortunately, most manufacturers provide easy-to-use guidance on how to secure your devices.
