Expert Insights into Cloud and Hybrid Workplace Risks
It’s likely that most haven’t thought about the security risks of ad-hoc and personally-preferred software and applications. What began as BYOD has grown into the apps, services, social and gaming environments. But as nearly half of employees download unauthorized tools and software as our personal and professional lives weave into each other, it means that malware or viruses can enter work networks, oftentimes with little or no record of a breach. That’s a big problem.
