Password Hygiene Top Tips

74% of respondents said that they don't use different passwords for different accounts, showing that only 20% of respondents used different passwords for all accounts they use. The survey found that as we've all spent more time at home over the last 12 month, 25% of people are allowing their children to use their work devices. With 17% allowing children to use their work device for homeschooling and 7% to socialise with their friends (including online gaming). It's clear to see that many of us have been forced to blur the lines between our time whilst working from home, and many of us have blurred the line in using work devices for personal use.

Business leaders need to review their device security and consider introducing stronger cyber security policies for staff to follow.
