Editor’s Note: This post was originally published in July 2018. While much of the information about data access and data protection remain relevant, it was time to update for current best practices.


Employees in today’s workplace expect the easy cloud services that they enjoy in their personal lives: Dropbox, Google Drive, iCloud, OneDrive, Box. As a business, however, how do we maintain security over data storage and user services, while providing ease of access?

How do we provide the authentication security and easy access that our employees need, while protecting our company assets? Fully 92% of today’s businesses feel that their employees may reuse their personal credentials for company purposes.

Does this resonate with your business?

Gemalto, a leader in digital security, produced an infographic exploring the often conflicting needs of employee data access and organizational data protection. Share this at your next team meeting!
