Mostly used for personal emails

Most workers are using business emails platforms for personal affairs, potentially putting the company at a significantly higher risk of data breaches and other cybersecurity-related incidents.

A report from SailPoint Technologies, claims 59 per cent use business email platforms for personal functions. This includes using the business email to log into social media accounts, and using it to create e-commerce accounts.

SailPoint says, as social media sites are often under attack, and should a breach occur - these email addresses could be compromised and sold on the black market. Once there, malicious actors could use it to conduct phishing campaigns, or spread spam, malware and ransomware.

In fact, almost half of the respondents said they noticed an increase in the number of phishing messages they received year on year.
