Every time an executive travels, sensitive organizational information travels with them. Outside the office, the controls stop. The moment the executive leaves the office and is at the airport, taxi, hotel, or restaurant, most of the security controls that protect the rest of the organization cease to apply.
A single phone or laptop can carry a company’s — or a government institution’s — most sensitive data, credentials, and decision-making power. The attacker does not need to reach the office — only the executive, once, anywhere.
