May 8, 2019 - Kaspersky Lab finds one-in-two hide social media activity from their boss
With 90% of people in employment going online several times a day, it can be hard for most workers to keep their private and work-life separate during the working day (and beyond).
The recently published Global Privacy Report from Kaspersky Lab reveals that one-in-two (59%) consumers choose to hide social media activity from their boss. This secretive stance at work also extends to their colleagues, with 52% of people also preferring not to reveal online activities to their co-workers.
The average employee spends an astonishing 13 years and two months at work during their lifetime. Interestingly though, not all this time is directly related to solving work tasks or earning a promotion: almost two thirds (64%) of consumers admit visiting non-work-related websites every day from their desk.
To ensure workers don’t fall prey of the internet threats at a work, among others, Kaspersky Lab advises consumers to not post anything that could be considered defamatory, obscene, proprietary or libellous. If in doubt, don’t post.

According to Goh Peng Ooi, Founder and Group Executive Chairman of Silverlake Group, with Intel’s software and hardware technologies, Silverlake’s technology stack designed for PAM, will form an all-new and powerful cyber security PAM product line (SIA) that will be the foundation for our customers to reduce their companies cyber security risks
SIA X-300 PAM is a robust PAM solution that is powered by advanced Intel Xeon Scalable platform and Intel Software Guard Extensions (Intel SGX) technology that can fully automate provisioning and de-provisioning process, giving IT full power over the access rights of employees, partners, contractors, vendors, and guests. This not only speeds up the enforcement process but helps eliminate human error. The scalable and modular architecture of SIA will ensure businesses can mitigate cyber threats with more deterministic performance and efficient cost containment. It also reduces the trusted computing base (TCB) to the smallest possible footprint, prevents memory bus snooping, memory tampering, and “cold boot” attacks against memory images in RAM; provides hardware-based attestation capabilities to measure and verify valid code, data signatures, and the TCB.
