With these accessories in your luggage, you can take your Opsec program everywhere you go.
1 Silent Pocket Dual Faraday Carryall
Zip your phone into this Faraday cage of a leather clutch and its diamond-pattern shielding makes sure no wireless signals get in or out. No GPS tracking, no cell-tower pinging, nobody packet-sniffing or intercepting your credit card info when you get too close to the checkout counter. | $100
2 InvisibleShield Glass+ Privacy
This peel-and-stick glass covering looks like a regular screen protector—and prevents scratches like one—but a thin filter layer darkens your iPhone screen when viewed from the side, keeping those WhatsApp messages and Slack threads safe from lookie-loos. | $45
3 MobiKey
When you need the latest meeting minutes and you’re at a sketchy internet cafe in Vilnius, just pop in a MobiKey. It provides a two-factor-authenticated, ultrasecure link to a virtual machine version of your main PC, so you can open and edit files while keeping all data and traffic safely on your own network. | $300 per year
4 Western Digital My Passport
Subvert pesky data snoops by using portable storage with hefty hardware crypto. This USB 3.0 hard drive scrambles 4 terabytes of your ones and zeros with 256-bit AES encryption. Five incorrect password attempts locks everything up; you have to erase the drive to use it again. | $120 for 4 terabytes
5 Acer Chromebook R11
The most secure computer is the one you can ditch if you suspect it’s been compromised. That means you want a Chromebook. But you don’t want Google watching while you use Chrome OS. Install the GalliumOS Linux build, which puts you completely in charge of a much more capable system. | $280
