Holiday Travel Tip: Use Public Wi-Fi Safely

It’s that time of the year again when we get on the road or head to the airport for a holiday vacation. It may be convenient to use public wireless networks while traveling. However, an ineffectively secured mobile device that establishes a connection to an open public Wi-Fi hotspot may expose an individual, employee, or entire organization to data loss or a privacy compromise.

The NCCoE wishes you a happy Thanksgiving and safe travels. To learn more about how you can protect your mobile device while using public Wi-Fi, access our article here.
