(IT Security Tips) Keeping Your Data Safe While Traveling

Cyber Security Tips for Traveling All Year Round – Stay Secure, Travel with Peace of Mind

Physical Security

Protect both your digital and physical well-being when traveling by using strong, unique passwords for your devices and accounts, and by being aware of your surroundings and belongings to prevent theft or other physical security risks.

Secure Your Passwords

Strong passwords are your first line of defense against cyber threats. Create complex, unique passwords for each account and consider using a trusted password manager to securely store and manage them, making it easier to stay protected online.

Minimize Location Sharing

When you’re traveling, be careful about telling everyone where you are on social media. Only share your location with people you trust because it can be risky to let everyone know where you are.

Be Cautious of Public Wi-Fi Networks

When using public Wi-Fi while traveling, be cautious because it may not be secure. Avoid accessing sensitive or personal information, and consider using a Virtual Private Network (VPN) to protect your data from potential hackers.

Phishing

When you’re on a trip, be careful with emails or messages that seem fishy. Don’t click on strange links or share personal info if you’re not sure who’s asking for it. Double-check before you act.
