The security of your account and your investments are of utmost importance.

Here are 8 ways to incorporate digital security into your daily life and ward against online fraud and cyber crimes:

Update your anti-virus, anti-spyware and firewall software regularly.

Learn to spot and do not fall prey to phishing emails and sites that are commonly used by fraudsters to get you to reveal your account details and passwords. Phishing emails could also contain malware attachments or links that could infect your online device and steal your personal data.

Update your internet browser to the latest available version, no matter whether you are going online from your mobile phone, laptop, desktop computer or tablet.

Select a strong password consisting of a combination of letters, numbers and symbols that's memorable to you, but difficult for strangers to crack. Also, update your password regularly and never share your password with anyone.

Always pick a password used solely for your online investing account. Remember that we and our staff will never ask you for your password. If someone contacts you claiming to be from us and requests your password, ignore it and reach out to us immediately.

Never allow your browser to remember your log in details, no matter how many seconds it saves you from having to re-enter them each time.

Always shred your statements before throwing them away to avoid identity theft.

Be wary of any app that requests excessive or unnecessary access to your device.
