Keeping Digital Information Secure When Travelling

Course Overview

Travelling with a work device, such as a laptop or phone, creates security risks.

These devices are appealing to thieves and may be stolen if not stored safely. The data on devices is also vulnerable. Connecting to unsafe Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, or leaving on-screen information visible to others, can mean that confidential company information falls into the wrong hands.

This course shows learners how to keep devices safe when on the move.
