In today’s fast-paced business world, staying connected while on the move is essential, but so is ensuring that your data remains secure. For companies with employees who frequently travel, the risks of unsecured mobile connectivity are higher than ever. From data breaches to compliance pitfalls, the challenges are real.
At Litenet, we understand these challenges and have crafted The Essential Guide to Secure Mobile Connectivity for Businesses to help you navigate them. Below, we’ve summarised the key takeaways from the guide, along with actionable insights to keep your team safe and productive.
Why Secure Mobile Connectivity Matters
- Rising Threats: 72% of data breaches are linked to unsecured mobile devices or public Wi-Fi networks (Retail Technology Review).
- Compliance Risks: Regulations like GDPR demand strict data protection measures, especially for teams accessing sensitive information abroad.
- Productivity at Stake: Unreliable or insecure connections disrupt workflows and expose businesses to cyber threats.
Key Risks for Business Travelers
- Public Wi-Fi Vulnerabilities: Hackers easily intercept data on open networks in airports, hotels, and cafés.
- Case Study: Marriott Breach: A 2018 breach exposed 500 million guests’ data due to unsecured connections, costing millions in fines and reputational damage.
- Human Error: Employees often overlook security best practices, making training and secure solutions critical.
The Solution: Private Mobile Connectivity
A private mobile network offers a secure alternative to risky public Wi-Fi and traditional mobile plans. Here’s why it’s a game-changer:
End-to-End Encryption: Keeps data safe from interception, even in high-risk locations.
Global Coverage: Seamless and secure connectivity across borders without compromising security.
Compliance-Friendly: Built-in safeguards for mobile security align with GDPR and other regulations.
Cost Control: Transparent usage tracking and customisable plans reduce unexpected expenses.
Best Practices for Secure Mobility Travel
- Use a Private Mobile Network: Avoid public Wi-Fi for business-critical tasks.
- Keep Software Updated: Regular patches close security gaps in apps and devices.
- Train Employees: Teach teams to recognise phishing attempts and unsafe networks.
- Monitor Usage: Real-time tracking helps spot anomalies before they escalate.
