SANTA CLARA, Calif. April 4, 2017 -- According to a recent survey by the Ponemon Institute and Citrix, there are two major IT security risks that enterprises need to prepare for Millennials and the impending General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR). The global study of more than 4,000 IT, security, and business professionals found that Millennials bring a growing number of mobile apps, devices and new methods of information sharing and collaboration that pose new security risks for businesses. The study also found that most enterprises are skeptical of their ability to meet the stringent security and compliance requirements of the proposed GDPR.
