All information sent electronically can be intercepted, and in some countries, hotel rooms are often searched (source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dni.gov\/index.php\/ncsc-how-we-work\/ncsc-know-the-risk-raise-your-shield\/ncsc-travel-tips\">National Counterintelligence and Security Center [external link]<\/a>). To limit risk, travelers must take actions before they leave, while traveling, and upon returning.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2010,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.intel.com\/content\/dam\/doc\/white-paper\/enterprise-security-the-billion-dollar-lost-laptop-problem-paper.pdf\">Intel sponsored a report (PDF) (external link)&nbsp;<\/a>that found that approximately one-third of all lost laptops occur while traveling. Among lost or stolen laptops, nearly all (95%) were permanently lost. A lost laptop can result in replacement costs, data breach investigations, lost intellectual property, lost productivity, legal ramifications, and consulting and regulatory expenses.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The following travel guidance was derived from Research &amp; Education Networks Information Sharing &amp; Analysis Center (REN-ISAC)\u2019s&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ren-isac.net\/services\/publications\/White_Papers\/Effective%20Practices_Cybersecurity%20for%20the%20International%20Traveler.pdf\">International Travel Checklist (PDF) (external link)<\/a>, and provides steps that should be taken to reduce risk of, and mitigate consequences for, a lost\/stolen\/compromised device, credentials, or unintended disclosure of data (breach). This guidance does not supersede project requirements and\/or restrictions on travel as stipulated by but not limited to: Standard Operating Procedures (SOP), Technology Control Plans (TCP), or Federal or State regulations.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.kb-table-of-content-nav.kb-table-of-content-id7634_745366-13

class=\"wp-block-heading\">U.S. Export Control Regulations<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to data security, it is imperative that international travelers are aware of, and in full compliance with, U.S. Export Control Regulations. For more information on this topic, please visit <a href=\"https:\/\/umaine.edu\/research-compliance\/export-control\/international-travel\/\">International Travel and Export Compliance<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">International Travel &amp; Encryption<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Encryption should be enabled on devices (laptops, desktops) that are purchased and set up through&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/tdx.maine.edu\/TDClient\/2624\/Portal\/Home\/?ID=1ee28f61-aea2-4452-8aa9-859961307402\">UMS:IT<\/a>. However, it is illegal in some foreign countries to use encryption on devices, so you must be mindful of the laws of other countries. If traveling to a nation that prohibits encrypted devices, travelers should consider bringing a wiped (erased) and unencrypted device that is free of&nbsp;<em>any&nbsp;<\/em>sensitive information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The personal use of encryption is covered <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wassenaar.org\/participating-states\/\">by countries participating in the Wassenaar Arrangement (external link)<\/a>. This arrangement allows travelers to participating countries to have encrypted devices, as long as the traveler does not \u201cmodify, sell, or distribute the encryption software.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">International Travel &amp; Presenting at Conferences<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Carefully consider what information is disseminated or discussed while abroad. Any information provided about the design, development, engineering, manufacture, production, assembly, testing, repair, maintenance, modification, operation, demilitarization, destruction, processing, and use of <strong>defense articles<\/strong> is an export control violation. Avoid discussing unpublished research. Do not use removable media (jump drives, flash memory storage, portable storage devices, etc.) given at conferences, as they may introduce malware into your system.
