World Password Day: Tips for Preventing Password Theft

For this reason, Check Point Software Technologies has highlighted the significant risks that users face and the best practices to ensure their information is protected through effective use of passwords.

Travel volumes at airports have been increasing of late, although still below the 2.5 million or so passengers the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) screened every day, on average, before the pandemic.
As passengers return, they will notice the airport security experience has changed during the pandemic – and many of the changes are likely to continue even longer.
Need for touchless technology
