Workers must be part of this compromise. They need to see the value of co-operating with IT so they can use the tools they have come to rely on – and help lay the groundwork for a process that will enable faster adoption of new technologies in the workplace as they emerge. Another fundamental adjustment by enterprises and their security teams is the acceptance of the public nature of business. According to Cisco’s annual ‘Connected World’
study, young professionals and students see far fewer boundaries between work life and personal life – 33% of college students say they don’t mind sharing personal information online.1
The older generation assumes everything is private, except what they choose to make public. The default position that everything is public goes against how enterprises have worked in the past.
