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
  Wi-Fi unless you have access to a VPN client.
