New Report Shows Unsafe Employee Behaviors Put Organizations at Risk

Cybersecurity has become a critical concern for organizations of all sizes. Recent findings from a CyberArk study reveal troubling trends in employee behaviors that expose businesses to significant risks:

• 80% of employees access workplace applications from personal devices that often lack necessary security controls.
• 49% of employees reuse login credentials across multiple work applications.
• 65% of workers admit to bypassing cybersecurity policies for personal convenience.
• 40% of respondents habitually download customer data to personal devices.
• 72% of employees use AI tools, often without adhering to guidelines for handling sensitive data.

These behaviors can lead to severe consequences, including data breaches, financial losses, damage to reputation, compliance violations, and even intellectual property theft. Such risks emphasize the urgent need for businesses to implement robust security measures and invest in employee education.
