Dark Reading: Many employees still don’t take BYOD security seriously, a new survey shows: Nearly 45% have accessed sensitive corporate data on their personal devices via unsecured networks, such as those at airports or coffee shops.
This is happening at a time when the bring-your-own device (BYOD) explosion is well under way. Some 45% of employees on average have more than six third-party apps installed on their personal mobile devices, and 15% admit to having had a personal account or password compromised. There’s an attitude among a few that they aren’t responsible for locking down their mobile devices: 15% say their responsibility for this is “none to minimal,” while about 10% have no password, PIN, or other security on the mobile devices they use for work.
