Intel recently completed a research project to measure the opinions and perspectives of IT professionals with regard to their Gen Y users. We asked IT professionals how they perceive Gen Y users impacting the security of their PC fleets and infrastructure, and what they are doing to deal with this new workforce. While the majority of IT professionals think that Gen Y employees have a positive effect on their company’s use of innovative technology, that same computer/tech savvy that causes them to be innovative also causes some concerns.
Topics include:
- Pros and cons of Gen Y’s impact on IT
- Advantages and concerns around security
- Social networking sites that pose security concerns
- Policies that have changed due to Gen Yers
- Perceptions of a company’s technology, security, flexibility of IT policies vis-à-vis other companies
- IT Solutions used to address Gen Y related security concerns
