Millennial's jeopardize IT security
A new study reveals Millenials engage in online risk taking behavior at an alarming pace, which ultimately impacts IT security.
According to Absolute Software Corp.'s recent survey, millennials represent the greatest personnel risk to corporate data as a result of their attitude towards IT security and usage behavior on corporately-managed mobile devices. That's a serious concern, as millennials are projected to represent 50 percent of the workforce by 2020.
And while a generational behavior gap may be a bit part of the problem, the overflow of mobile devices into the workplace hasn't helped. Fifty-four percent of respondents said they used two or more devices on a daily basis--including laptops, tablets and mobile phones. And despite the fact that 79 percent preferred having a separate device for work and personal use, 52 percent indicated that they use their employer-managed devices for personal use.
You can see the breakdown in the report which has far reaching impact for corporate, and public sector IT security.
