Wi-Fi has enabled the mass adoption, use and innovation of connected devices. We have come to expect ubiquitous Wi-Fi wherever we go: coffee shops, hotels and airports all offer public access Wi-Fi networks. Even the London Underground is meeting the connectivity demands of our ‘always connected’ society. Our modern, nomadic workforces rely on internet connectivity to operate remotely, however the majority of public Wi-Fi connections remain unencrypted and incapable of protecting user data. Anyone with malicious intent can use these unencrypted networks to access information ranging from confidential company data to financial transactions. Attacks are increasingly compromising email accounts, passwords and other personal information.
