ESET's Mark James on addressing business security employee issues

For those who don’t live and breath security, some of the staff instructions from businesses looking to stay safe can seem like IT departments  are deliberately making life difficult. Poor Wi-Fi access, the need for strong passwords, not being able to download and install applications, and a difficulty in working remotely are all common bugbears from staff members at businesses worldwide.  I spoke to ESET security specialist Mark James about the problems employees find with business security, and how companies can best counter them.

Poor or limited access to Wi-Fi is a regular grumble for workers, and James has a lot of sympathy for this. “These days we talk about Bring Your Own Device, and the ability to move around the office and not be desk-bound, so I can see how not being able to stay connected when you move would be frustrating.”
