Could an eSIM be the key to keeping your workers safe while travelling?
Holafly argues workers risk using dodgy public networks even before they get chance to activate their VPN.
A new report by Holafly suggests that eSIMs could be the key to ensuring business travellers stay safe while travelling abroad. According to the research, one in two business travellers currently manage their own internet connections overseas. While many companies have strict policies regarding internet access when employees work remotely, they often neglect to address account security when workers are travelling.
More than half (53%) of business travellers manage their own internet access, which leaves them vulnerable to risky public networks at airports, hotels, and other locations. Holafly argues that merely providing a VPN is not sufficient to protect data to and from company systems; employers should also consider offering secure connections from the moment travellers arrive at their destination.
By issuing eSIMs, employers can regain control over the initial secure connection, which Holafly claims is the most critical step in a comprehensive cybersecurity strategy. The report emphasizes that providing a trusted eSIM connection upon arrival can address the security concerns of 42% of business travellers who are already struggling with international challenges.
Holafly already offers a Business Center where IT administrators can manage and distribute company eSIMs for international travellers, with the option to send the eSIM's QR code or details to employees for installation on their devices.
