3 tools for on-the-go security

Making sure all of your belongings are secure at all times is a tall order. Thankfully, there are some tools that make it much easier. Portable security devices can be hard to find, but we have found several that work quite well.

Laptop privacy screens

Privacy can be a major concern if you do a lot of work in public. Often, if your typeface is big enough for you to see it, it’s probably big enough for someone else to see it too. That’s what these privacy screens are for.

People who are viewing your screen from an angle will have an obstructed view. The privacy screen darkens your laptop screen, which is especially helpful for when you are taking a look at sensitive data that you don’t want anyone else to see – no more crouching over your laptop to cover everything.

Handheld paper shredder

Shredding documents is an easy way to prevent others from getting a hold of sensitive data, but it becomes a lot less easy when you are traveling. Handheld paper shredders are small and portable, and they make shredding documents a simple task regardless of where you are.

Mandylion Password Manager

Strong passwords are essential to our security. They are one of the most effective ways to protect your sensitive information from hackers and evildoers. Strong passwords aren’t always so easy to create and keep track of, however, which is why we often need a little help.

The Mandylion Password Manager creates solid, unique passwords for you and will manage up to 50 accounts. It boasts “military-grade password protection” that you can take with you anywhere.

Anyone who works outside of the office every now and then knows how tricky it can be to really secure your belongings as well as information. These tools, and others like them, make the security much easier to attain.
