======================================================================

In response to the escalating demands of global travel and remote work , 
which are considered to be cybersecurity weak spots for many companies, the 
parent company of top business VPN service NordVPN has revealed a new global 
eSIM service called Saily. 

Nord Security says that being able to have on-the-go access to the Internet 
without having to rely on public networks could have a positive impact on 
privacy and security. 

The product, which will have an early access beta launch in Q1 2024, will be 
followed later this year by a supporting app. Nord Security launches new eSIM 

The companys head of product strategy, Vykintas Maknickas, said: With travel 
and remote work on the rise, an eSIM app is now more crucial than ever. 
Maknickas indicated that an eSIM can save users time and money. 

Using the eSIM will allow travellers to access local networks, helping to 
reduce roaming costs associated with using foreign network SIMs. Saily allows 
users to buy short- and long-term plans  TechRadar Pro has asked the company 
for more information about networks, and its currently unclear whether the 
service will use pay-as-you-go and/or contract-type models. 

Maknickas added: Even if theres a coffee shop nearby with an open Wi-Fi 
network, you dont want to risk exposing your device to a network youre not 
sure is secure. 

Besides the security benefits, carrying around your own network connection 
will eliminate the need to connect to public Wi-Fi networks altogether 
(subject to data allowances), which can be a far more convenient solution for 
most travellers. 

Moreover, Saily aims to simplify the process of finding affordable data plans 
by offering a centralized, single platform where customers can pick from 
hundreds of countries and dozens of plans. 

Any more information from Saily and Nord Security will be posted here. More
