Protective DNS is the No-Brainer Fix to Safer Public Wi-Fi

As guest and public Wi-Fi services grow in speed, quality, and popularity – in part driven by poor 5G indoor coverage – the issue of Wi-Fi security once again looms large. DNSFilter says four out of five security breaches involve DNS, and that both malware and phishing is sharply on the rise. The company offers an elegant solution to block out the majority of malicious actors on public Wi-Fi networks. 

Poor indoor 5G coverage is making life less than convenient for shoppers, hotel guests, restaurant guests and many others – and as a result, public and guest Wi-Fi is becoming increasingly important and relevant. At the same time access to most public Wi-Fi networks takes place via captive portals, which means users and their devices are in principle unprotected. While on public Wi-Fi networks, users are exposing themselves to substantial security risks, says DNSFilter.
