Going on a trip this summer? Leave risks at home

Share
02 June 2026

Summer vacation is just around the corner. Are you, like our CISO, already working on your packing list?

Summer vacation is just around the corner. Are you, like our CISO, already working on your packing list? It's time to wrap up the academic year, recharge yourself instead of your phone or laptop and explore new places instead of your workplace.

But while you're relaxing, digital threats continue to exist. In fact, it is precisely during vacations that we are often slightly less alert, and criminals take advantage of this. A lost phone, an unsecured wifi network or a quick click on a phishing email, it can have major unnoticed consequences for your data and those of the VU. You shouldn't have to think about that, should you?

That's why VU's ISO team has one clear message: Going on a trip? Leave risks at home.
With practical and immediately applicable tips, we help you to handle your devices, information and accounts safely even when you are on the road. Because with a few simple actions you can greatly reduce the chance of problems.

Wondering what's on the packing list of our CISO, Irma Meinema? Read her personal experiences, smart travel tips and discover the favorite vacation books of the VU ISO team.

Extra fun: through the blog you can win a book from the summer reading list.

We wish you a great summer and a safe trip!
Erna, Peter, Eelco, Joost, Simone and Jurriaan
