48 per cent of office workers have admitted they are less likely to follow safe data practices when working from home, according to new research from Tessian, the Human Layer Security company. The State of Data Loss Prevention report reveals findings from a global survey of 2,000 office workers and 250 IT decision-makers in the UK and the US.
The research shows that 52 per cent of office workers feel they can get away with riskier behaviour when working from home, such as sharing confidential files via email and using personal devices to conduct company business.
The top reasons for not following safe data practices included not working on their usual devices (50 per cent), not being watched by IT (48 per cent), and being distracted (47 per cent).
