The other suggestion that I've seen is glitter-fingernail polish over the
case screws, and take a picture of the glitter pattern, to be compared at a
later date if tampering is expected.

Long story short: encrypt everything, and trust noone

We advise employees to use a burner phone and laptop (which we can

encrypted web sessions and we haven’t really seen problems about any of
this being blocked.

Business



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.
