Bring your own device (BYOD) policies have become difficult for IT teams to monitor, especially during increased travel in summer months. With more endpoints and applications in use, and often personal rather than corporate issued, the risk to corporate data may increase. ThreatX surveyed consumers from the U.S. and U.K to assess whether employees’ behaviors during the summer are inadvertently increasing API and application risk.
More than half (55%) of employees admit to relying solely on their mobile devices while working from vacation and holiday destinations in the summer. Further, 25% claim that they aren’t concerned about ensuring network connections are secure when accessing company data and 12% use a VPN when traveling and working remotely.
