It’s the season of summer travel, and it is important to prepare your technology just as you prepare your packing and trip planning. Every year, we emphasize the importance of keeping your technology safe when traveling and vacationing, even when it is easy to let your guard down. Here are a few basic points to remember.
- Install updates on all of your devices.
- Connect safely. Use cellular connections when making online purchases or make sure your WIFI connection is safe.
- Make sure you update your passwords and use multi-factor authentication. This is more important than ever.
- Keep your devices close to you at all times and don’t leave unattended.
- Back up your data!
Here are a couple of gadgets you might find helpful for traveling. (more electronics listed here.)
