It's Trade Show Travel Season, Here are some Tips to keep you #cyber #safe
When connecting your devices to the Internet at wireless access points, at coffee shops, in hotels or at airports during your travels. Note: These highly unsecure public Wi-Fi networks are accessible to everyone. They are easily hacked because they don’t require authentication for users to connect and they may use weak encryption protocols. Be prepared by:
🏹 Installing a Endpoint Detection & Response (Ask us How)
🏹 Update patches that may be required by your computer operating system and applications.
🏹 Ensure you have all the software and hardware you need so that you don’t have to buy any in another country.
🏹 Lock your device with a PIN, passphrase, or password.
🏹 Use multi-factor authentication on devices, applications, and accounts to add an extra layer of security.
🏹 Some devices have an option that will erase all data if the password is entered incorrectly 10 times. Enable this option so that if you lose the device, that’s all you’ll lose.
🏹 Back up your data files to another device or to software, such as Dropbox or a cloud storage program, before you leave home.
Safe Travels and Happy Trade Show Season.
