End Users Flout Enterprise Security Policies

Separate studies show many users understand rules, but they break them anyway.
 
According to the RSA study, about 35 percent of workers routinely make a conscious decision to break enterprise security policy because they want to expedite their work or increase their own productivity. Such users may choose to export sensitive data to their personal devices or access the company network via a poorly-secured public wireless hotspot, Curry observes.
 
"They're just trying to get their work done -- in their minds, the importance of the work outweighs the security concern," Curry says. "But the compromises that occur as a result can be just as damaging as if they didn't know the policy at all."
