Security vulnerabilities of traveling laptops

The overwhelming increase in the mobility of the corporate workforce and the availability of wireless internet connections
in airports, hotels, and coffee houses, creates an unbearable challenge to IT managers. Outside the corporate network these laptops are at the frontline without the first line of defense provided by the corporate network security. Whenever employees, traveling with their laptops, connect to a hotel hotspot, they are in fact connecting their corporate computers to an unsecured network, shared by hundreds of guests. This innocent connection jeopardizes sensitive data and can bring back security threats into the corporate network when returned to the office.

  • Traveling laptops are exposed to security threats due to PC related vulnerabilities
  • Traveling laptops bring back security threats into the corporate network when returned to the office.

The enforcement challenge

As long as the corporate users stay within the corporate network, they are protected by the enterprise security infrastructure, a robust first line of defense managed by professionals. But when traveling, these users have to rely on the security software installed on their laptops and to manage their security independently. Security updates, configurations, and even use of prohibited software or sites (e.g. P2P, adult sites, etc.) cannot be enforced on travelling laptops, creating inconsistencies in terms of the security level which consequently jeopardize corporate network security.

  • Traveling laptops rely on the individual users (e.g. download of security updates, avoidance of prohibited sites and not installing unauthorized software)
  • Traveling laptops create inconsistencies in terms of the security level which consequently jeopardize corporate network security
