- Twenty-nine percent of employees write their work passwords in a personal journal.
- Sixty-nine percent of employees said they choose passwords that are easy to remember.
- Forty-one percent of employees said cybersecurity policies restrict the way they work, and 36 percent said they find ways to work around these policies.
- Sixty-four percent of employees use a personal device for work, but only 43 percent of those devices are securely enabled.
- Just 31 percent of employees use a password management tool.
