Telecommuters Use UC, Not Backup

Nearly one in three telecommuters say they never back up their data, according to a recent survey from Staples Advantage, the business-to-business division of Staples Inc.

Telecommuters say they rely on email (96 percent), instant messaging (68 percent), video conferencing (44 percent) and unified communications technologies (25 percent) to stay connected. While more than two thirds of telecommuters said they didn’t receive IT security training in preparation for home office work, many are applying good judgment and security best practices. About 95 percent say they install operating system updates right away and 84 percent don’t store personal data on their machines.
