Although technology-related dangers are always present, threats are especially elevated whenever working away from home or the office. Cybersecurity experts, government agencies and technology professionals agree you should adopt several corresponding habits when traveling to better protect yourself, your devices and your data. So be sure to consider these practices the next time you hit the road.<\/span><\/span><span class=\"EOP SCXW115460241 BCX0\" data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;335572071&quot;:0,&quot;335572072&quot;:0,&quot;335572073&quot;:0,&quot;335572075&quot;:0,&quot;335572076&quot;:0,&quot;335572077&quot;:0,&quot;335572079&quot;:0,&quot;335572080&quot;:0,&quot;335572081&quot;:0,&quot;335572083&quot;:0,&quot;335572084&quot;:0,&quot;335572085&quot;:0,&quot;335572087&quot;:0,&quot;335572088&quot;:0,&quot;335572089&quot;:0,&quot;469789798&quot;:&quot;nil&quot;,&quot;469789802&quot;:&quot;nil&quot;,&quot;469789806&quot;:&quot;nil&quot;,&quot;469789810&quot;:&quot;nil&quot;,&quot;469789814&quot;:&quot;nil&quot;}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Update Your Software<\/h2>\n<p><span class=\"TextRun SCXW235643895 BCX0\" lang=\"EN\" xml:lang=\"EN\" data-contrast=\"auto\"><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW235643895 BCX0\">One of the easiest weaknesses for hackers to exploit is known issues. Software providers and hardware manufacturers regularly publish fixes. They routinely release new software and operating system updates and hardware patches to address widely publicized errors that leave systems vulnerable to easy attack. Yet, many organizations and users don\u2019t promptly download and install these updates. The subsequent unpatched apps and hardware prove easy pickings for hackers working diligently to compromise and infect networks and devices. Protect yourself when traveling by downloading and installing operating system, program and firmware updates before leaving. Even better, make the practice a common habit.<\/span><\/span><span class=\"EOP SCXW235643895 BCX0\" data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Back-Up Your Data<\/h2>\n<p><span class=\"TextRun SCXW11910896 BCX0\" lang=\"EN\" xml:lang=\"EN\" data-contrast=\"auto\"><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW11910896 BCX0\">Before leaving on a trip, back up any locally stored data on the devices that will accompany you. Backing up all the important files, images and other information from your smartphone, tablet and\/or laptop will help ensure you can recover the data should a device become lost, stolen or compromised while traveling. Ensure important files are safely stored in a cloud account, backed up using a local drive, copied to a thumb drive or protected using another strategy. While industry observers don\u2019t always agree on everything, experts unanimously advocate backing up your devices before hitting the road.<\/span><\/span><span class=\"EOP SCXW11910896 BCX0\" data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-5521 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/lg-staging.lougcloud.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/CISA-_Travel_Tip_Card-260x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"662\" height=\"763\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lg-staging.lougcloud.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/CISA-_Travel_Tip_Card-260x300.jpg 260w, https:\/\/lg-staging.lougcloud.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/CISA-_Travel_Tip_Card-611x705.jpg 611w, https:\/\/lg-staging.lougcloud.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/CISA-_Travel_Tip_Card.jpg 706w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 662px) 100vw, 662px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>Lock Your Devices<\/h2>\n<p><span class=\"TextRun SCXW168031981 BCX0\" lang=\"EN\" xml:lang=\"EN\" data-contrast=\"auto\"><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW168031981 BCX0\">One way to make it harder for criminals to access your data is to lock your devices.

But that doesn\u2019t mean you should. Numerous experts concur; it\u2019s best to physically guard your electronic equipment when traveling. Avoid even revealing you possess devices whenever possible. The less people know what you\u2019re carrying the better. When you do use a smartphone, table or laptop in public, guard these tools.

Disable these features when traveling to prevent automatically connecting to compromised networks, malicious devices and other dubious resources. When on the road, it\u2019s best to distrust networks and resources unless you\u2019re sure of their provenance and can confirm the resources are properly configured and secured, such as might occur within a corporate branch office or HQ location. Free airport, hotel, coffee shop and other public <\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW216251390 BCX0\">WiFi<\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW216251390 BCX0\"> networks are best avoided.<\/span><\/span><span class=\"EOP SCXW216251390 BCX0\" data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Skip Using Public Computers<\/h2>\n<p><span class=\"TextRun SCXW154626820 BCX0\" lang=\"EN\" xml:lang=\"EN\" data-contrast=\"auto\"><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW154626820 BCX0\">While using a public computer may prove convenient, avoid using such resources. Hotels, visitor centers and trade shows often make public computers available to guests to assist confirming or changing travel plans and printing email messages, airline tickets and similar information. But printing a boarding ticket, changing reservations or mapping a route usually requires you to enter personal credentials. Because these systems are notoriously subject to hacking and compromise, resist using public computers and never enter personal information on such a system.<\/span><\/span><span class=\"EOP SCXW154626820 BCX0\" data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Avoid Public Charging Stations<\/h2>\n<p><span class=\"TextRun SCXW142831938 BCX0\" lang=\"EN\" xml:lang=\"EN\" data-contrast=\"auto\"><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW142831938 BCX0\">Even if your smartphone battery is on 10 percent and you need to use your phone for urgent needs, do not connect to public USB charging stations.

But they also give your location away, including when publishing photos and posting messages to social media. Multiple authorities recommend considering the risks location services surface and acting accordingly, such as by avoiding social media posts that reveal you\u2019re traveling and are away from the office and\/or home.
