Hotel Wi-Fi Security, Ensure Your Guest’s Complete Privacy
Hotel Wi-Fi Security,
Ensure Your Guest’s Complete Privacy
Everyone expects the hotel guest Wi-Fi to be simple and hassle free. But no one expects it to be risky.
For most hotels, providing guest Wi-Fi is a chance to deliver a seamless user experience and a positive reflection of the company’s brand. But that good will may come with a price in the form of problems that pose risks to you and your visitors.
Left unprotected, your hotel Wi-Fi may be putting your guest at risk of having their sensitive information compromised. Outdated networks can become a liability, as users download copyrighted content or otherwise inappropriate material. Additionally, visitors may not be your only concern. Employees are known to flock to the guest network to bypass security controls on the corporate network—and those devices bouncing between secure and unsecured networks can leave you exposed.
THE CURRENT STATE OF HOTEL WI-FI
The reality today is that should a guest misuse the Wi-Fi network – to view inappropriate content for example – the business could potentially be held liable. Furthermore, without the right controls in place, the Wi-Fi connection can become a simple back door into the overall corporate network, undermining all the other aspects of network security being introduced.
In other words, poorly managed, uncontrolled Wi-Fi is essentially an open connection that can lead to serious business problems, and that’s something that no hotel can afford.
Traditionally, applying security and control to the guest Wi-Fi network hasn’t been easy, but no one wants their guests exposed to malware.
