5. “Samsung’s study suggests that just as people solve problems and
improve their personal lives by ‘life-hacking’, many workers are using
technology for the same ends. Millennials, who’ve grown up with mobile

intelligence to make IT work for them. If they haven’t already, European
organisations need to design their work and security policies, and
technology strategy, with this employee behaviour in mind” Dr Dimitrios
