Securing Devices And Networks

Use this page to improve securing devices and networks. Security changes work best when account access, devices, browsers, and passwords are reviewed together.

Device Checklist

Area Recommendation
Updates Keep operating system and browser updates enabled.
Screen lock Require a password, PIN, biometric login, or hardware key to unlock devices.
Malware protection Use the built-in security tools for your platform or a reputable security product.
Shared devices Avoid managing hosting, email, or domains from shared public computers.
Backups Keep device backups current so a lost or compromised device is recoverable.

Network Checklist

Area Recommendation
Wi-Fi password Use a strong Wi-Fi password and avoid sharing it widely.
Router password Change the router's default admin password.
Encryption Use WPA2 or WPA3 Wi-Fi encryption.
Guest network Put visitors and untrusted devices on a guest network when possible.
Router updates Keep router firmware updated or replace unsupported routers.

The goal is to protect access to Fused services. For enterprise network design, firewall policy, or incident response, work with a network security professional.

If A Device Is Lost Or Compromised

  1. Change passwords used on that device.
  2. Revoke access for account users who no longer need it.
  3. Reset email passwords for mailboxes accessed on the device.
  4. Review email forwarders and filters for suspicious changes.
  5. Contact Fused if client-area, cPanel, email, or site admin access may have been exposed.
