1 in 3 Singaporean employees are unknowingly putting their companies at risk

SINGAPORE (April 6): Bringing personal tech devices to work have not only become an everyday practice but even a necessity at times. But according to one study by VMware (VMW), a subsidiary of Dell Technologies, this increasingly commonplace habit could prove more of a bane than a boon.

Based on the results of VMware’s Digital Workspace Study, over one in three Singaporeans (38%) report to be using unapproved personal devices for work, representing the highest in ASEAN, while more than 66% of Singaporeans use their personal mobile devices to check work emails.

Together with Malaysia, it is also observed that Singapore tops the ASEAN region in terms of a mobile workforce, with each person owning 2.5 devices on average.
