You’re at the gate. You log in to “Airport_Free_WiFi.” Maybe send a few emails, check your CRM, book a hotel. All on an open network.

Here’s what you didn’t see:
That network might be spoofed. Or it might be real—but monitored by someone who’s watching everything. Without a VPN (Virtual Private Network), your traffic isn’t encrypted. That means someone nearby could intercept logins, messages, even company files.

For teams that travel—or even check in from the road—VPNs aren’t just smart. They’re essential.

VPNs lock down your connection with encryption. They make your device anonymous. They close the open door.

What You Can Do Right Now

  • Use a trusted VPN service like Proton VPN, Mullvad, or NordVPN—these offer no-log policies and strong encryption
  • Avoid free VPNs that seem too good to be true—many are
  • Set your devices to never auto-connect to open networks
  • Install VPN apps on all work devices, including phones and tablets
  • Better yet? Talk to the friendly nerds over at CasCom—we’ll set your team up with a business-grade VPN and usage policy that doesn’t rely on anyone remembering what to click

CasCom bakes these essentials into every IT plan, so your team doesn’t have to think about it.

Because secure should be automatic. Especially when you’re traveling.
