Everything from endpoints, to passwords, to training, to security policies and a lack of awareness are all contributing to a higher risk of cyberattack.
Employee cyber risk is a multifaceted issue that can revolve a lot around cyber hygiene. Some of the most important issues include passwords, device use, and a lack of proper training. According to new data in Mobile Mentor’s inaugural Endpoint Ecosystem Report, employees have terrible password hygiene. Many choose passwords that are easy to remember, write them down in a journal, or store them in a Notes app on their phone. Since many employees are using their personal devices for work, this can be a massive risk to take. In addition to poor password maintenance, in-office workers are not always receiving regular security training either.
