Employees risk security for productivity

A recent CyberArk survey found that 65% of office workers admit to circumventing security policies in the name of efficiency. Key findings include that 49% reuse passwords across applications, 30% share workplace passwords, and 80% access work apps from unsecured personal devices. The study highlights that 72% of employees use artificial intelligence tools, and 38% ignore company policies on sensitive data. Writing for Forbes, Lars Daniel says “organizations must recognize that their employees are both their greatest assets and their most significant vulnerabilities . . . The greatest challenges and problems in cybersecurity have been, and remain, human.”
