A culture of carelessness amongst US business owners can expose company security and invite cyber crime.

It is quite genius and intelligent to implement technologies, tools, hardware, or set of appliance for securing work IT systems, but a  permanent training, education and sensitization, when it comes to use these supports, are the real key.

At, Connectikpeople.co  we always recommend this kind of approaches.

New research(2,500 working Americans on their internet security habits), conducted by two factor authentication provider, Swivel Secure, highlights how business-owners are taking insufficient steps to secure access to their workplace systems.

According to this report, 74.2% of business owners keep a written log or have another offline system for recording their passwords. 63% of business owners continually re-use the same passwords to log in to different systems. 61% remain ‘unconcerned’ with the security of their corporate systems.

73% of US full time workers admit to re-using the same batch of passwords online, with a third (33%) using less than five different passwords to access between 25 and 50 personal and business sites.

It is also worrying to observe that, unlawful and undetected access to their company systems to be gained online appears to decrease with age: 71% of 55-64 year olds are ‘unconcerned’ by the security of their work IT systems, compared with 47.1% of those aged between 25 and 34. 

Therefore Connectikpeople.co  invites business owners to take responsibility for securing their systems at every level within their organizations. Scalable, seamless, flexible, fully integrated and easy to use strong authentication platforms are recommended to eradicate these risks.
