Putting business devices at risk with holiday shopping
The majority of small- to medium-sized business (SMB) executives believe "many" of their company employees will use work devices to shop online this holiday season. And, with business data stored and transmitted on these same work devices, online shopping can leave valuable business information vulnerable to attack.
Another secondary issue comes from reusing passwords. When a user is on a work computer and find themselves needing to register on an e-commerce site they haven't used before, they might reuse a work email and work password during the registration process. While not an issue right away, if that e-commerce site is compromised, or gets compromised later, that could also place the business at risk.
