ZAG Technical Services has offered a timely tip for travelers this summer, noting that now that the warm-weather season is here, “with it comes vacation travel and an increase in time spent on public networks.”
The award-winning IT firm and security provider in agribusiness said ZAG there are ways to improve tech security while on the road, especially helpful during this time of conventions and expos.
Citing The Vacationers, which had reported “nearly 219 million American adults plan to travel for work or pleasure this summer,” ZAG said, “While vacation plans may vary greatly, one common reality for travelers is their plan to bring along a smartphone or tablet. More time spent on public networks when traveling brings with it a greater risk of cybersecurity and malware attacks.”
The IT pros continued, “To help protect your tech while on the go, whether for vacation or business travel, ZAG has published an easy-to-share handout containing pro tips for securing your information and devices, such as how to recognize online dangers, unsecured networks and the risk of leaving your devices unattended, including in private hotel rooms.”
Patrick Day, director of client strategy at ZAG, stressed, “If you are traveling for work or pleasure, it is imperative to understand the cyber risks in new environments.”
Day concluded, “One of our goals as a strategic IT partner is to empower tech users to be better informed and have the knowledge they need to avoid cyber threats and keep their data safe. Just simply reminding everyone to check your tech before and after travel and protect your tech during travel puts tech security front of mind.”
