HP Wolf Security Rebellions and Rejections Report

HP Wolf Security Rebellions and Rejections Report

 

 

Security is critical to business operations. The disruptive impact of ransomware attacks has made this clear. But if employees don’t understand the goals and reasoning behind their organization’s security policies – and if technical controls are too obtrusive – this can lead to apathy, resentment and even circumvention.

Our latest HP Wolf Security study – Rebellions & Rejections – uncovers worrying workforce security trends, examining how IT security teams have responded to the challenge of securing remote workers during the pandemic, and how employees have behaved. The research draws on data from a global YouGov online survey of 8,443 office workers who shifted to remote work during the pandemic and a global survey of 1,100 IT decision makers (ITDMs), conducted by Toluna.
