New research from Snow Software has revealed that many employees are using work devices and software without the IT department’s permission.
Employees worldwide have begun to go rogue by using unauthorized software and applications on their work devices despite being aware of the potential business risks involved according to new research from Snow Software.
The company’s new study surveyed 3,00 professionals in the US, Europe and Asia Pacific to reveal stark contrasts between the mindset of today’s workers and the priorities of IT leaders.
This rift was most notable in younger employees and Snow’s survey revealed that millennials are almost as twice as likely to go behind IT’s back when compared to older workers. In fact, 81 percent of those surveyed admitted to accessing something on their work device without permission compared to just 51 percent of baby boomers who have done the same.
