Subject: Re: [SECURITY] Security Measures when traveling to China for Business

A leading insurance company reported at a conference that they issue iPads to executives who travel to China and then 
shred them immediately upon return.

The environmentalist in me shudders at this, but their view was that “wiping clean” is not guaranteed given the 
pernicious nature of some hacks.

Hi Everyone,

We are interested in getting some feedback to learn how other institutions handle the concern when employees need to 
travel to international countries like China with both corporate owned, and personally owned laptops and mobile 
devices.  We’ve been informed that certain VPN’s may sometimes help “ get around” the technical controls put in place 
by the China government but I’m also interested  to hear about any ethical concerns with helping implement solutions to 
“get around” international laws.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
