SAN JOSE, CA - Summer means travel, and between vacations and trips to trade shows, there is increased time spent on public wifi networks. To help the industry improve its security, ZAG Technical Services is sharing pro tips.

“If you are traveling for work or pleasure, it is imperative to understand the cyber risks in new environments,” said Patrick Day, Director of Client Strategy at ZAG. “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.”

Almost 219 million American adults plan to travel for work or pleasure this summer, according to The Vacationers. As noted in a release, when travelers bring along their smartphones and tablets, they spend more time on public networks, exposing themselves to the risk of cybersecurity and malware attacks.

To help mitigate risks, ZAG has published an easy-to-share handout featuring pro tips for securing information and devices. It includes information on how to recognize online dangers, unsecured networks, and the risk of leaving your devices unattended, including in your hotel rooms.
