Which generation lacks in data security?

Do millennials throw caution to the wind when it comes to data security?

The newest generation of workers has the reputation of being significantly more plugged-in than their predecessors. Experts even suggest “reverse mentoring” to encourage older generations to be more “tech-savvy.” However, are millennials letting data security get the best of them?

22% of 20-29 year-olds admitted to losing a computer or mobile device that gave unrestricted access to work information to whoever found it! This is about 5 times higher than 50-65 year old workers. Nearly a third of twenty-somethings keep their passwords in plain sight.

But – here’s the kicker — they’re also the most informed about the risks.

Internally, the IT department ironically seems to play the most fast and loose with data security. A whopping 53% of the surveyed IT department have emailed work files they need to a personal email account.
