Mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets facilitate work during foreign travel, including remote connections to enterprise networks and databases.
Because of their portability and always-on state, mobile devices are susceptible to compromise, theft, physical damage, and loss, regardless of user location.
Use of mobile devices during foreign travel often intensifies this risk. Both government and personal information are at risk, including government and personal user account information, contacts, and application data.
Moreover, government and industry employees are often targeted by foreign adversaries seeking the government’s confidential data and intellectual property and, in some cases, government employees’ personal data.
