Using company devices for personal activities leads to data loss

From Help Net Security:

Using company devices for personal activities leads to data loss

Key findings include:
  • 75% of respondents use their work-provided computer for non-work activities
  • Overall, 90% have at least some understanding of their company’s policy on usage and follow it to at least some degree
  • 8.5% completely disregard company IT policy on approved use of company computers for non-work activities
  • Nearly a third (31%) of those surveyed have had to get their IT department to fix their computer after an issue occurred as a result of innocent non-work use, while 6% had to do the same due to questionable use (porn, torrents, etc.)
  • 10% have lost data and/or intellectual property as a result of the disruption caused by the outage.
