To add to the turmoil, there’s a good 30% of my workforce that has no personal devices or email. I had a former employee who left all his tax returns in his profile. As a rule, I ‘box up’ and store all former employee’s profiles due to pictures and other personal items. Over 40% of the staff are 20+ year employees. I’m 21+ now.

Those statistices show that not enough people are restricting or imaging and locking down machines. This can be done very easily with a number of different tools depending on how your devices are postured.
