The ever growing population also indicates that as an alarming rise in the number breaches come to light, it becomes important for the stakeholders to formulate policies which allows them to derisk their security concerns.
According to the findings of research firm, Software advice, the millennials tend to ignore the dangers that lurk around when it comes to password reuse and are also risk-prone with social media use.
