While it may seem like the employee is simply taking praiseworthy initiative and that the CEO is taking necessary steps to grow the business, the use of personal file-syncing accounts is highly problematic from a technical perspective for at least two reasons. Or a CEO uses her personal Google Drive to share a file for review with an important potential client. Perhaps an employee uses his personal Dropbox account to access work files at home. One common instance of the drive for convenience leading to poor security-and poor business practice-is the use of personal file syncing accounts, such as Dropbox, for work purposes. This happens at every level within companies, including the C-suite.
People want to do their jobs efficiently, and sometimes necessary measures for data security seem to slow them down. One of the biggest threats to a business’s cybersecurity is the drive for convenience.
