- Ensure any devices (laptops, tablets, phones, etc.) you are traveling with are both backed up and current on security updates/patches.
- If avoidable, do not travel with devices that contain sensitive or confidential information. If you do travel with your primary device, consider signing out of any websites or applications that contain your personal information (e.g. social media, online banking). Reach out to your department to inquire about minimally-provisioned loaner laptops for international travel.
- In general, sensitive or Restricted Data should not reside on laptops or other mobile devices. It should remain in Box or other approved storage locations.
- It's always a good idea to encrypt your devices to protect your data should the device be stolen. This is true even if you are not travelling outside of Cleveland.
- Check for laws or travel restrictions on electronic devices for your planned destination.
