How to improve the security of Piso WiFi

Like any piece of technology, your Piso WiFi could be subjected to digital attacks.

However, technical security does not protect your asset from physical attacks, so you still need to check your device or have it covered by a security camera to avert theft.

Just because your Piso WiFi machine can operate independently doesn’t mean you should leave it be.

On the other end, you can secure yourself as a customer of the Piso WiFi connection.

By using the Piso WiFi with other connected customers, you are effectively on the same WiFi network, and it is therefore considered public.

You can secure your connection by using VPN software and keeping your device’s OS up to date and patched for vulnerabilities.
