International Travel – IT Preparation Reminder for Research Faculty:

Research faculty traveling internationally with university-owned devices, research data, or needing access to UT systems should plan ahead for secure computing and authentication while abroad.

If you are traveling with UT-owned devices to restricted regions ensure that you follow UT’s international travel IT security standards—additional precautions or alternative device arrangements may be required (https://security.utexas.edu/education-outreach/international-travel-standard )

Before departure, ensure you are not leaving services or applications running that automatically log in using your UT EID, as international EID activity may trigger informational ISO alerts for a potentially compromised account. If there are other concerns associated with the login (such as odd traffic or excessive logins), a quarantine could follow.

ALERT: EID logins originating from a “country of concern” will automatically trigger an exploit alert which will automatically lock your EID. To avoid this, make sure you avoid accessing UT services while you are in these regions. If your EID is locked, contact campus IT at 512-475-9400 to correct the issue. Note that these exploits are sent to the dean and are reported in the campus monthly and yearly Information Security Office Security Posture Reports to the President and Provost.

Faculty traveling to locations where their DUO device may not be online or on its usual service provider should review DUO travel options at https://utexas.atlassian.net/wiki/display/cnsoitpublic/How+To%3A+Duo+Two-Factor+Authentication; DUO questions may be directed to ITS at 512-475-9400.

Faculty are strongly encouraged to use the UT Secure Yourself Quick Guide (https://security.utexas.edu/secure-yourself-quick-guide ) to prepare devices and accounts before international travel.
