Fearlessness is what makes the millennials unique and gives them an ability to innovate and invent and at the same time their need for instant gratification makes them vulnerable, more so during their sojourn in the cyber world
A listair Maclean, the author of several thrillers, wrote a page-turner way back in the sixties, called the `Fear is the Key’. It is a tale about how fear can make your powerless but for the millennials who populate the cyber world, they know no fear.
The millennials (those born after 1980) constitute one-third of the total workforce globally and by 2020, they will account for nearly half of that. The ever growing population also indicates that as an alarming rise in the number breaches come to light, it becomes important for the stakeholders to formulate policies which allows them to derisk their security concerns.
According to the findings of research firm, Software advice, the millennials tend to ignore the dangers that lurk around when it comes to password reuse and are also risk-prone with social media use. What is more alarming, according to the survey, is the fact that more than half of them admit they would ``very’’ or ‘’ moderately likely’’ evade restrictive workplace controls. This is compounded by their reluctance to receive security training.
Personal activities lead to security breach
Another report from LaunchTech commissioned by cyber security firm, ForcePoint, said two thirds of those surveyed use personal device for their private and company work, while nearly one – third said they access social media at work.
