The Information Security team is excited to introduce a new learning module as part of the Security Awareness and Training (SAT) program: Digital security for travel.

Launched on Sept. 29 ahead of Cyber Security Awareness Month, this short module equips faculty, staff, librarians and students with strategies to protect their data and devices while travelling — whether for work, study or leisure.

From securing devices against theft and loss to understanding border search protocols and minimizing risk on public Wi-Fi, the module covers:

• Identifying common travel-related digital threats.
• Applying best practices before, during and after travel.
• Responding to device loss, compromise or search.

Access the module through the U of T SAT platform under the Education and Learning section.

Contact your unit’s SAT program administrator to get started. They’ll guide you through the onboarding process and help you join the program. If you’re unsure who your SAT program administrator is, email security.training@utoronto.ca.

Together, we can foster a culture of security. Whether you’re a frequent traveller or preparing for your first international conference, this module will help ensure you’re digitally prepared and protected wherever you go.
