innovation and technologies.

According to its new report titled ‘From Brutus to Snowden: a study of insider threatpersonas’(PDF), the majority
of desk-based workers in the US and the UK do not believe that sharing their
work-related logins represents a security risk to their employer.
Less than a third of people (28%) would know who to report a security
breaches to in their organization.
Nearly a quarter (23%) of people has shared their password with one or more
of their colleagues, with a further 10% having shared theirs with a manager.
Connectikpeople.co soon Retinknow® also observes that, password sharing is
increasing, with 22%.
The report shows a huge difference in security attitudes between younger
and older generations, with those in age groups 16 to 24 and 25 to 34 being far
more likely to share work logins (35% and 32% respectively) than those of over
35 (15%).
Finally, the study
also found that the strongest incentive for preventing users sharing passwords
is if someone else using your login restricts your own access, cited by 29% as
the most likely measure to stop them. This was found to be a particularly effective
measure for those younger generations (37% of those aged 16 to 24 and 36% aged
25
to 34).
