  1. Vulnerability Awareness and Tips for Safe Foreign Travel Presented by the San Diego Industrial CI Awareness Working Group, an Affiliate of the Industrial Security Awareness Council

  2. Did You Know? • Last year 27,023,000 US Citizens took 58,496,587 international trips. • 80% of these trips were for pleasure or to visit family members. • Overseas travelers and their information are most vulnerable during transit. • There are myriad ways to protect yourself and your information!

  3. Before You Go • Check with your security team to ensure there are no travel restrictions to your destination. • Register with the State Department’s Smart Traveler Enrollment Program (STEP). • Inform your credit card company/bank that you will be using cards abroad. • Practice good OPSEC!

  4. While Abroad • Do not put phones and laptops in checked baggage. Hard drives may be imaged and data/devices may be stolen. Ditto on other valuable items: leave the jewels at home! • Beware of sensitive conversations anywhere. Not a work trip? Make your companions happy- don’t discuss work! Work trip? Discuss sensitive matters in the office.

  5. Collection Techniques and Social Engineering • You should have no expectation of privacy abroad…even in your hotel room! Bugged rooms, recorded calls, and searches of luggage while travelers are away are known collection techniques. • Beware of the Chatty Cathie's and Talkative Toms: Do a stranger’s questions seem too pointed?

  6. Computer/Electronics Security • Consider the use of a dedicated travel laptop and cellphone with no personal data on it. • Perform a virus scan on all electronic before departure and upon return and encrypt your data! • If possible, avoid the use of computer or fax equipment. They may be monitored for password collection or sensitive data.

  7. Upon Return • Report anything suspicious to your security team. • Made some new friends while abroad? Make sure to report foreign contacts! • Monitor the credit cards you took on vacation. • Save your travel itinerary.
