Cybersecurity should not be limited to the home, office, or classroom. It is essential to practice safe online behavior and secure our Internet-enabled mobile devices whenever we travel, especially abroad! Your phones and devices are always searching for familiar networks, and the more things we access on the go, the more risks we can face.
Here are a few tips if you’re doing some exploring over the next few months.

While these tips are helpful for travelers, you can also apply them when you’re home. Cyber threats will always be there. Nevertheless, you should be extra careful if you’re traveling because an attack when you’re away from your home and your support system can be stressful.
