Russian computer equipment manufacturer iRU conducted a study on the problems users face when working on personal devices. The survey involved more than 1,400 Internet users, including 57% men and 43% women.
The most popular option was combining work and personal equipment. 29.5% of employees work exclusively on corporate devices, only 29.1% on personal ones, and the majority (41.4%) combine both formats.
However, the flexibility of this approach turns into vulnerability: 41.5% of employees are responsible for setting up programs and security themselves. The same number of respondents reported that the IT department is responsible for security. In 17% of cases, that is, approximately one in six, the company has no one responsible for security at all.
Only 52% of respondents store work files on work computers, and another 12% in corporate cloud storage. The remaining 36% save documents on personal devices or in third-party cloud services.
The risks are confirmed by statistics: 46% of users using personal devices at work have already encountered problems. Most often they were the loss of files or device breakdown (19%), the need for repair or update at their own expense (11%), virus infection (6%) and the risk of data leakage or hacking (4%).
At the same time, employees working exclusively on corporate equipment report such problems almost 20% less often. Artem Pishchulin, iRU brand communications manager, emphasized:
Personal devices have long become part of everyday work, especially in remote and hybrid formats. But along with this, companies are increasingly faced with a conflict between employee convenience and business security. If IT departments do not control the entire perimeter of the company, personal devices turn into a vulnerable link, through which the risks of cybersecurity for the entire corporate infrastructure increase.
