The Postal Service is reminding employees and contractors to take care when traveling with USPS mobile devices during the holiday season.
Smartphones, laptops and tablets allow you to work and communicate while traveling, but the more devices that are taken on a trip, the greater the chance that one of them could get left behind at an airport, hotel or in a taxi.
Here are some tips to keep your mobile devices secure while traveling:
• Bring only essential devices so it is easier to keep track of them.
• Keep your devices locked using a PIN, password, or fingerprint or facial recognition.
• Back up your devices so you can recover your data if necessary.
• Use only secure Wi-Fi connectionssuch as your smartphone’s personal hotspot feature or a virtual private network, especially at airports, hotels and cafes.
