Check out these travel safety tips for the holiday season

As the holiday travel season gets underway, it’s important to stay mindful of your personal and WashU-related information security. The Office of Information Security is here to help you prepare and protect your data while on the go. 

Traveling can pose unique security risks, but with a little advanced planning, you can minimize them. If you’re traveling internationally, be sure to visit the Trip Registration webpage to complete the necessary steps. Through this resource, you can also learn about the WashU IT loaner laptop program, which provides devices pre-configured to securely access Office365, WUSTL Box, and other WashU resources remotely. 

Additionally, the Office of Information Security offers a wealth of guidance, including practical tips and links to tools designed to help you safeguard your data while traveling. 

If you suspect a cyber threat or security breach during your travels, don’t wait—reach out to the Office of Information Security immediately at infosec@wustl.edu or 314-747-2955. 

Wishing you a safe, secure, and joyful holiday season!
