Generative AI training is lacking for 81% of U.S. workers
A recent report by Ivanti analyzed unsafe security practices.
According to the report, one in two office workers admit to using personal devices to log into work networks, with 32% of them revealing their employers are unaware of this practice. However, only 13% of security professionals prioritize user experience (UX) for end users when implementing cybersecurity tech interventions. By focusing on UX in security measures, organizations can reduce the likelihood of employees bypassing established protocols and resorting to unsafe workarounds.
The use of Gen AI tools and other advanced technologies by employees can bring challenges related to data privacy, compliance, cyber risks, and copyrighted materials. Research indicates that 81% of office workers have not received training on Gen AI, and 15% are using unauthorized tools.
Regardless of whether half of employees work remotely or only a small fraction do, it is crucial for companies to support all ways in which employees work. Sixty-two percent of employees use a VPN or a zero-trust access solution to restrict network access and protect sensitive information, while 57% utilize multi-factor authentication.
