Protecting Your Laptops, Smartphones and Data While Traveling

Date: February 6, 2013
Time: 6:00 PM – 7:30 PM

Speaker(s): Mark W. Schleisner
Location: The New York Academy of Medicine, 1216 Fifth Avenue at 103rd Street, New York, NY 10029


Your electronic devices (and their data) are most vulnerable to being stolen when you take them on business trips or vacations.  Device thefts and patient data breaches are always in the news, and HIPAA regulatory penalties for breaches can be severe.  Yet avoiding such occurrences can be simple, if you follow some common sense, easy-to-do suggestions.  This presentation will help you:

  • Guard against password hacking.
  • Use public wi-fi safely (and when to avoid using it).
  • Prevent device and data theft in hotels, cars, trains and airports.
  • Understand the importance of encrypting and backing up data.
  • Get a lost device returned to you safe and sound.

There will be lots of time for Q&A.  Bring your questions!
