Most Travelers Are Oblivious To Security Risks During Travel

Most Travelers Are Oblivious To Security Risks During Travel

wukovits Blog, Business & Finance, Business Advice, Employees, General Interest, Malware and Virus Protection, Security

Over the course of the holiday season this year, more than half of the working adults in the United States will be traveling with one or more of their work devices.

Unfortunately, only a tiny fraction of those fully appreciate the data security risks inherent in travel, which is a grim reality that could put your company and its data at risk.

To give you a sense of exactly how bad the situation is, here are a few of the highlights from a recent data security survey conducted by ObserveIT.  A word of warning, break out the antacid tablets before reading further.

  • 77 percent of survey respondents say they will connect to free public WiFi while traveling this year.
  • 63 percent of survey respondents say they plan to use public WiFi to access work emails and company files.
  • 64 percent of all insider threat incidents in 2017 were caused, at the root, by employee negligence.
  • 49 percent of survey respondents indicated that they had no knowledge of a company-wide cybersecurity travel policy.
  • Just 17 percent of survey respondents indicated that they regularly connected via a VPN outside the office.

If you run a business of any size, odds are excellent that at least some of your employees will be working while traveling over the holidays.  Based on these statistics, you can be worried that at some point, some of your company’s data is going to be at risk.

It’s been common knowledge for some time now that employees are the weakest link when it comes to data security.  In response to that knowledge, companies have been ramping up their efforts to educate their employees on security practices and the vital role they play in protecting the interests of the company they work for.

Sadly, those efforts haven’t  proven helpful yet.  It’s something to be aware of this holiday season.  Make sure your employees know how to protect themselves and your business while traveling.
