When you’re overseas, it’s easy to get caught up in flights, food and photos, but keeping your digital life secure is just as important. These simple, travel‑friendly cyber security habits help protect your devices, accounts and personal information every time you travel:
- Update your devices before you leave so you’re protected by the latest security patches.
- Use strong authentication such as biometrics or passkeys to secure your accounts.
- Be cautious with public Wi‑Fi and avoid logging into anything sensitive while connected. Use a VPN while connected.
- Check QR codes carefully and avoid scanning anything that looks suspicious or out of place.
- Keep your devices close, physical access is still the easiest way for someone to compromise them.
