Millennials, Gen Z actually suck at workplace security

It's just as you suspected: your Gen Z and millennial coworkers just aren't taking cybersecurity at work seriously enough.

Roughly one-third of Gen Z and millennials said they reuse passwords between personal and business accounts, something that less than a quarter of older respondents cop to, while nearly a half of Gen Z and millennials were"likely to accept web browser cookies on their work-issued devices all the time or often," which 31 percent of Gen X and 18 percent of baby boomer respondents also do.

The behavior Shah and EY are urging companies to break in their younger employees is an apparent apathy toward technology that would make a Gen Xer proud, with much of that attitude stemming from an over familiarity with tech.
