There was a time when travel security meant buckling your seat belt and remembering to bring your ticket. Now, just when we thought we had a handle on it (slip on shoes and zip top bags? check) there comes another threat to our travel security – one that targets our information rather than our health.
What we’re talking about is a digital threat; the threat to your laptops and personal devices, and the risk that it poses to both your personal and work information. In this age of connectivity, today’s employees are always “on”, even when traveling. Unfortunately, so are hackers. From malware to automated attack tools, travelers are more vulnerable than ever to a breach in the security of their devices, putting their information, and that of their employer, at risk. Vulnerable, but not helpless.
This simple security checklist shows you just how easy – and how vital – it is to protect your information while traveling. Just as you guard your wallet more closely in a crowded public space, so should you closely guard the sensitive information stored in your laptop and mobile devices.
Sharing these simple steps with your team can make the difference between a memorable vacation or productive work trip, and a nightmarish cautionary tale. The best part? They’re easy to remember, easy to follow, and are easily incorporated into your existing travel routine.
