On vacation, you want to relax, enjoy the moment, and not worry about digital risks. But even on the beach, online dangers lurk: cybercriminals are active, even when you’re trying to go offline. These three tips will help you keep your data and devices safe during your vacation. <\/p>\n

\u2708\ufe0f Before departure: preparing for cybersecurity is part of the plan
Just as you prepare your luggage, it’s wise to get your digital baggage in order:<\/span><\/h3>\n
    \n
  • Create a backup of your devices.<\/b> Ensure all your photos, messages, and documents are safely stored, for example on an external hard drive or in a reliable cloud environment such as Google Drive or iCloud.<\/li>\n
  • Perform all updates. <\/b> Operating systems and apps regularly receive security updates. By installing them on time, you close backdoors for hackers. <\/li>\n
  • Activate security features.<\/b> Enable functions such as ‘Find my device’ or ‘Remote wipe’, so you can erase your data in case of loss or theft. Always use strong screen lock, such as a password or biometrics. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

    \ud83c\udf0d Op locatie: let op met draadloze verbindingen<\/h3>\n

    Gratis wifi lijkt handig, maar is vaak een valkuil:<\/span><\/p>\n

      \n
    • Vermijd belangrijke transacties op openbare netwerken. <\/b>Doe geen bankverrichtingen of aankopen via een onbeveiligde verbinding.<\/li>\n
    • Gebruik je mobiele datanetwerk of een persoonlijke hotspot. <\/b>Die zijn meestal veiliger dan de gratis wifi in caf\u00e9s of luchthavens.<\/li>\n
    • Vergeet niet automatische verbindingen uit te schakelen. <\/b>Zo voorkom je dat je toestel zonder jouw medeweten verbinding maakt met verdachte netwerken. Schakel wifi pas in als je het echt nodig hebt.<\/li>\n
    • Overweeg een VPN-dienst. <\/b>Hiermee worden je gegevens versleuteld, wat extra bescherming biedt bij het gebruik van openbare wifi.\n<\/p>\n

        Apps en toestellen: hou zelf de controle<\/h3>\n

        Ook op reis geldt: minder is vaak meer, zeker als het op apps aankomt:<\/span><\/p>\n

          \n
        • Beperk het aantal apps op je toestel.<\/b> Installeer alleen wat je nodig hebt voor je reis, en gebruik bij voorkeur enkel apps uit offici\u00eble appwinkels.<\/li>\n
        • Controleer machtigingen.<\/b> Veel apps vragen toegang tot je contacten, camera of locatie, zonder dat dit altijd nodig is. Ga je instellingen na en trek onnodige rechten in.<\/li>\n
        • Verwijder overbodige apps. <\/b>Niet alleen voor je privacy, maar ook om je toestel overzichtelijk en sneller te houden.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
