Before business executives start using on-board Internet access to conduct business, employers should examine the risks that this latest wave of technological conveniences creates. Bear in mind that the risks will include not just the possible inadvertent disclosure of confidential business information but also, for example, the possible continued storage of that information on the airline?s e-mail servers and the possible increased risk of interception during transmission.
