The technological savvy millennials bring to the workplace comeswith a price, according to a new report from the Society for Human ResourceManagement.

Despite knowing better than any other generation, perhaps, notto click on the email offering $10 million from a deposed Africandictator, millennials are a cybersecurity liability simplybecause of the fact that their lives are so inextricablyintertwined with the web.

“Millennials in the workplace have a different perspective onthe sensitivity of information, information sharing, and theramifications of personal data being shared within a corporateenvironment,” Morey Haber, vice president of technology atBeyondTrust, a Phoenix-based cybersecurity company, said.

In addition, explained some experts, young workers who are underpressure to complete tasks quickly, particularly if they areshifting between various roles in the company, are likely to skip afew common sense security steps.

Companies often jeopardize their security by assumingthat young employees are tech experts and tasking them withsensitive security roles without training.

While tech education might be left to other departments, it willoften be HR's role to communicate a clear set of internetpolicies to employees aimed at safeguarding the company'ssecurity. That includes simple but oft-neglected things, likeavoiding easy-to-crack passwords.

Some of the policies floated by experts are bound to garnergroans from iPhone addicts. They include never using a personalemail or social media account for work purposes, and viceversa.

Those types of strict lines between the personal and theprofessional will undoubtedly remain little more than aspirationsin some workplaces. Many young workers see their personal socialmedia presence as an important component of their professionallife. They do not want to have to abandon the Twitter followingthey garnered from one job when they move on to their nextjob.
