Have you ever considered that digital security also belongs in an emergency kit?
In a crisis situation, we often think immediately of water, food, candles, or our passport. But what about your digital data? More and more essential documents are now provided exclusively in digital form. Especially during a crisis, these can be critically important.
What can a Digital Emergency Kit include?
- Encrypted USB stick
Store essential documents such as a copy of your passport, insurance papers, and medical records. Use reliable encryption tools like BitLocker or VeraCrypt. - Offline password manager
With a tool like KeePass, you can securely access your accounts—even without an internet connection. - Backup solutions
Combine an external hard drive with cloud storage to prevent the loss of valuable data. - Offline-accessible emergency information
Think of important phone numbers, emergency contacts, and protocols that need to be available if networks go down.
Note: Protect your storage devices with strong passwords (at least 12 characters). Keep them in a secure location, such as a safe.
