IT Security professionals admit that they are suffering from password fatigue when it comes to using their mobile devices, which leaves their data exposed to personal and corporate identity theft if these devices were to fall into the wrong hands. That’s according to endpoint data protection specialists Credant Technologies, which ran a “mobile usage survey” among 227 IT professionals, with most drawn from firms that employ over 1,000 people. A third (35%) said they just do not get around to using a password on their business phones and smart phones, even though they know they should do so because they contain sensitive and confidential information. Surprisingly, IT professionals are only marginally better at using passwords than the general population, as a survey conducted earlier in the year by Credant found that 40% of all users don’t bother with passwords on their mobile phones.
