STAY SECURE NO MATTER WHERE YOU ARE Follow These Tips to Avoid a Vacation Disaster
TURN ON YOUR ‘FIND MY PHONE’ FEATURE
Losing a phone or computer is never fun, but it’s even worse when it happens while you’re traveling. If you don’t locate the item before you head back home, it’s probably gone forever. But losing a device is nothing compared to losing all the data stored in it. Here are a few ways to ensure that a lost item won’t turn into a lost cause.
This feature, which allows you to view the location of your phone from a secondary device, is a lifesaver. You won’t have to retrace your steps wondering if you left your phone at a restaurant. Even better, if the phone does fall into the wrong hands, you can remotely disable it. The thieves may walk away with an expensive piece of glass and metal, but they won’t get any of your private information.
ENCRYPT YOUR HARD DRIVE
This method of protection requires a few more steps, but it’s a great idea for people who often travel with their laptop. You can opt to either selectively encrypt files and folders or encrypt your entire hard drive. Additionally, you can add pre-boot authentication for further protection. At AZCOMP, we give businesses and their team members the tools and service to stay secure no matter where they are. Before your next trip, give us a call to get the peace of mind that comes from knowing a lost device won’t be the end of the world.
BACKUP BEFORE YOU DEPART
If all of your data is kept in one place, whether it’s a phone or laptop, you’ll be in for a world of trouble if it gets misplaced or stolen. Creating backup locations for your valuable information is the best defense. You can back up to the cloud, an external hard drive, or a device you won’t bring on the trip. Password-protect these backups to ensure that even if you lose a device, your information won’t be compromised.
