“Traveling Employees, Traveling Threats”
Your competitors are already automating. Here's the data.
Retail and ecommerce teams using AI for customer service are resolving 40-60% more tickets without more staff, cutting cost-per-ticket by 30%+, and handling seasonal spikes 3x faster.
But here's what separates winners from everyone else: they started with the data, not the hype.
Gladly handles the predictable volume, FAQs, routing, returns, order status, while your team focuses on customers who need a human touch. The result? Better experiences. Lower costs. Real competitive advantage. Ready to see what's possible for your business?
Hotel Wi-Fi Is a Hacker’s Playground
Man-in-the-middle attacks, fake portals, and packet sniffing happen daily. Travelers connect without VPN, transmit credentials, and expose internal apps to public networks.
Lost Devices = Lost Data
Laptops left in taxis, phones forgotten at gates — each a potential breach. Without full-disk encryption, biometric locks, and remote wipe, the damage is instant.
Airports Are Physical and Digital Attack Zones
USB charging stations, fake mobile hotspots, and shoulder-surfing are common. Attackers exploit distraction and urgency to breach via proximity.
Attention spans are shrinking. Get proven tips on how to adapt:
Mobile attention is collapsing.
In 2018, mobile ads held attention for 3.4 seconds on average.
Today, it’s just 2.2 seconds.
That’s a 35% drop in only 7 years. And a massive challenge for marketers.
The State of Advertising 2025 shows what’s happening and how to adapt.

Border Searches Can Compromise Devices
Customs agents in some countries may demand access to phones or laptops. Sensitive corporate data can be copied, confiscated, or scanned — without legal recourse.
Roaming Threat Actors Target Executives Abroad
Targeted surveillance tools track high-value travelers. Executives become espionage targets, especially during international business trips. Security must follow the user — not just the office.
Post-Travel Security Checks Are Rare
Most orgs don’t audit devices after return. Malware, spyware, or rogue configurations persist. A compromised endpoint abroad becomes a beachhead at home.
