I’ve got an upcoming overseas trip and I’ll be carrying important digital files. What steps can I take to avoid data theft while I’m on the road?

Great question — I had the same worry when I started traveling with sensitive project files. The first thing I did was switch to encrypted storage on my devices. Even if something gets lost or stolen, the files stay unreadable. I also avoid connecting to unsecured Wi-Fi without using a VPN. Another simple trick is to separate personal and business accounts so you reduce exposure. These practices made me a lot more confident while traveling. If you want a structured guide, I recommend checking out mobilecon.info. They cover exactly what travelers and professionals need to stay safe digitally, and I’ve used their tips on multiple trips without a single issue so far.
