Many companies today are no longer content to conduct business in their immediate geographical region. Many are expanding into different global markets, either by having an employee work from their home in another city to opening an entire branch office. Furthermore, they are accessing their information at the coffee shop, hotel, or at the airport. However, when workers use the public Wi-Fi signal, their devices are vulnerable to attacks, such as fake wireless access points and cookie theft. As covered in a previous blog, “Hacker Tricks: How You Can Protect Yourself,” hackers steal confidential data, scrape login information, take credit card numbers, install malware, and even take over your device. A Virtual Private Network can prevent many of these problems.
