Some workplaces do not allow working from outside the US. Make sure you are not in violation of this policy.

you should talk to your office IT people. I don’t login into my bank account when I’m overseas.

Assuming you have small incompetent IT department

1) purchase google fi account, and swap sim before you go. Exclusively use google fi, no WiFi.

2) vPN if you have it but if not don’t try to shop for one

3) two factor authentication - a google titan key would be good. Or at least have it text your google fi account

4) change password before you go and when you get back.

It depends on which country you're going to. If you're in England or France, you're probably ok using the wifi (with the same precautions you would use here -- don't sign on to a secure site on an open network, etc). My previous employer would not let us take our mobile devices to China or Russia, among other places. If someone insisted on email access, they would give them a "burner" phone with a temporary email account and password.
