Last week I shared an article from Vistage Speaker and IT Security Expert Mike Foster on the false sense of security that VPNs create in your team when they use their portable devices on public wi-fi like airports, hotels etc. If you missed it, I suggest here again that you read ( and share with your IT team) Mr. Foster’s blog post “What Executives Must Know: VPNs and Public Network Security.”
But what about when your employees aren’t working…when they’re “off the clock” or on vacation? Mr. Foster follows up with another post on the topic for those headed to the beach in August and how to keep yourself and your team safe there (or anywhere else) while online. Think of it as “IT Sunblock.”
Before you pack, take a few minutes for “Vacations: Connecting at Coffee Shops, Hotels, and Airports Can Be Dangerous to Cybersecurity-Here are Alternatives”
Here’s to avoiding a bad day at the beach!
