Public Wi-Fi networks, while accessible and free, expose traveling employees to major security risks. For businesses, these unsecured connections can lead to sensitive data leaks, targeted cyberattacks, or the compromise of business equipment.
The main dangers of public Wi-Fi networks:
1. Data intercepted without encryption
Many public networks lack any real protection. Data exchanged can be intercepted, including login details, emails, internal documents, or access to sensitive platforms.
2. Fake Wi-Fi networks (Evil Twin)
Attackers create networks imitating those of public places (e.g., “Airport Wi-Fi”). Employees unknowingly connect to a fake access point, directly exposing their business data.
3. Man-in-the-middle attacks
Hackers interpose themselves between the device and the Wi-Fi network and can monitor, hijack, or modify the data exchanged.
4. Security vulnerabilities on the device itself
Even with a VPN, a device connected to public Wi-Fi can be targeted by malware or tricked into using a corrupted website.
