Security is a serious concern for travelers, especially when it comes to keeping digital information private. Thankfully, there are tons of apps to help keep your smartphone and laptop protected from hackers.
TunnelBear is a VPN (virtual private network) that “tunnels” your location to a different country, making it difficult for hackers to nail you down. It’s perfect for travelers who connect to a lot of random WiFi spots while on the road and can keep your internet connection secure. Also? It’s free to try.
Lookout is strictly for iPhone users at this point, but is a must for frequent travelers. It monitors your apps for suspicious activity, has a built-in backup service and even comes with identity theft protection if you’re willing to shell out $10 a month.
Android users will find the best security available with Norton. Anti-theft functionality, backup features, call blocking and malware protection are all standard features. An extra $30 a year will also get you a compatible VPN app to block your location from hackers. Check out the whole suite.
Sometimes it’s more important to worry about personal safety than someone hacking your phone, which is why EmergenSee is a must-have for travelers. It’s the only live video personality safety app currently available. With it you can press a button and automatically turn on live video that’ll alert your family and friends to your location by GPS and audio in an emergency.
