Almost a third of business leaders said they wanted a single device that could cover both work and leisure, but there were concerns about the sharing of company data, with 42 per cent of Irish SMEs do not allow employees to download business data onto their mobile devices.
“The fact that there are 60 per cent of employees permitted to use their mobile device for work data means that these things have to be secure,” Mr Doran O’Reilly said. “There’s a huge education piece to have in place because it’s not just the phishing and the data breaches and all those other malware attacks; 60 per cent of people were worried about losing their device because the data is also gone if you lose it just as much as if someone hacks into it.
Two-thirds of those surveyed value the ability to work on the move from their mobile device, 33 per cent choosing a smartphone or tablet as a device for productivity. However, laptops remain a vital tool, with 66 per cent of respondents saying their laptop makes them feel most productive in work. However, as the Covid-19 pandemic has introduced hybrid work to many new workplaces and industries, SME leaders have become increasingly focused on cybersecurity. But along with hardware, education is a key component in helping prevent attacks.
“It’s not always obvious what the threat is,” explained Mr Doran O’Reilly. “Data breach is the big one that everyone talks about, but if you don’t have a device that is secured against malware, well then you’re going to be in trouble pretty quickly. Password attacks are something that people have seen a lot of, and phishing attacks.
