Session Takeaways:

One in five persons have been a target of cyber-crime while abroad - rising to almost a third (31 per cent) of senior business managers:

This session will help demonstrate how cyber-crime is a real hazard while travelling and how employees are putting confidential business information at risk.

Three in five (59 per cent) persons in senior roles said they try to log on as quickly as possible upon arrival abroad because there is an expectation at work that they will stay connected. By the time business travelers reach the arrivals' terminal, one in six is using their work device to get online.

Almost half (48 per cent) of senior managers and more than two in five (43 per cent) of mid-level managers use insecure public access Wi-Fi networks to connect their work devices when abroad.

Learn key information to help you construct communications for your travelers helping them mitigate cyber risk.

Understand end-point protection and solutions for travelers to use to avoid issues.
