The summer holidays are fast approaching and with them come potential security dangers of travelling with devices. Fennel Aurora from F-Secure has some best practice advice to help protect devices, data and privacy while travelling:
“On holiday, you are likely to be in unfamiliar places, more relaxed and less attentive than usual. This is a perfect combination for getting a device lost or stolen and you want to limit the damage if the worst happens.
Where possible, avoid using public computers and tablets in hotels, airports, and libraries. You don’t know where they have been, who was on them before you, or what nasties they might have installed already.”
These are two very valid points which people tend to forget on their travels. Travel preparations can often be all-consuming and it’s easy to forget the fact that the devices we rely on daily also need to be protected.
