iPad best practices
 Use a passcode/passphrase to lock the device
after inactivity – typically no more than 10
minutes of inactivity should trigger this.
 When choosing between unsecured Wi-Fi and
3G/4G service, always opt for the cellular data
service, as it is typically significantly more secure
than unsecured Wi-Fi. If accessing
sensitive/protected data, never use unsecured WiFi unless you have access to a VPN client.
