Young Employees Pose Increasing Risk to Networks

buzzardsbay writes "Baseline is reporting on an upcoming survey from Symantec and Applied Research-West that confirms many suspicions about the generation gap in the workplace, namely that younger workers will use your corporate network to run most any device, technology or social networking software they can get their hands on. Dubbed "Millenials," these workers born after 1980 are nearly twice as likely to use cell phones and PDAs at work, and half admit to installing unauthorized software on their employer's computers. On the upside, the Millenials are more security aware than their older co-workers."

    What makes you so special that you deserve free higher education and free dental? What was free when I was younger. I am still paying for Dental, I STILL have over $50k in student loans, and I am still paying higher taxes than you. You are furthering the stereotype.

    Good thing I was born in 1980, in that case.
