When you’re at the airport, do you worry about your cybersecurity or just whether or not you’ll have time to grab a beer before your flight? You might want to be more concerned about the former, if Coronet, a cloud security company, has anything to say about it.
The brand released a study identifying the most cyber-insecure airports in the United States. This cyber insecurity stems from airport WiFi, which puts information shared through cloud-based work apps, like Office 365 and G-Suite, at risk.
According to the study, the most cyber-insecure airport is San Diego International Airport, followed by John Wayne Airport-Orange County Airport and William P. Houston Hobby Airport.
Conversely, the most secure airports are Chicago-Midway International Airport, Raleigh Durham International Airport and Nashville International Airport.
The airports were identified by collecting data from 250,000 endpoints traveling through the 45 busiest airports in the country over five months. The data revealed device vulnerabilities and WiFi network risks.
“Far too many U.S. airports have sacrificed the security of their Wi-Fi networks for consumer convenience,” said Dror Liwer, founder and CISO, Coronet. “As a result, business travelers in particular put not just their devices, but their company’s entire digital infrastructure at risk every time they connect to Wi-Fi that is unencrypted, unsecured or improperly configured. Until such time when airports take responsibility and improve their cybersecurity posture, the accountability is on each individual flyer to be aware of the risks and take the appropriate steps to minimize the danger.”
The full lists of the top 10 (listed from No. 10 to No. 1) most cyber-insecure and the least-vulnerable airports are below.
