10 must-have security tips for digital nomads


When you’re on the road, either for business travel or because your company allows remote work from anywhere, you have to take extra steps to ensure data security, safety and privacy.

The difference with digital nomads abroad (and bleisure and workcation travelers) is that you’re more likely to be carrying your most expensive electronics, more likely to be staying at an Airbnb than a hotel, and more likely to be in serious trouble if you lose work computers and devices (not to mention passports and your wallet). AirPods in your ears or an Apple Watch on your wrist indicates that you’re carrying a coveted iPhone on your person, and possibly an iPad or MacBook Pro — making you a target. Whether you’re visiting a local coffeeshop or bleisure traveling on the other side of the world, always be smart and stay safe with these digital nomad pro tips.
