The number of apps and web tools that employees use on a regular basis continues to
increase. Most departments have about 40-60 different digital tools that they use. 71% of
employees feel they use so many apps that it makes work more complex.
Many of the apps that we use every day have various alerts. We get a “ping” when
someone mentions our name on a Teams channel. We get a notification popup that an
update is available. We get an alert of errors or security issues.App fatigue is a very real thing and it’s becoming a cybersecurity problem. The more
people get overwhelmed by notifications, the more likely they are to ignore them. Just think about the various digital alerts that you get. They come in: • Software apps on your computer • Web-based SaaS tools • Websites where you’ve allowed alerts • Mobile apps and tools • Email banners • Text messages • Team communication tools Some employees are getting the same notification on two different devices. This just adds
to the problem. This leads to many issues that impact productivity and cybersecurity. Besides alert bombardment, every time the boss introduces a new app, that means a new
password. Employees are already juggling about 191 passwords. They use at least 154 of
them sometime during the month.How Does App Fatigue Put Companies at Risk?
Employees Begin Ignoring UpdatesWhen digital alerts interrupt your work, you can feel like you’re always behind. This leads
to ignoring small tasks seen as not time-sensitive. Tasks like clicking to install an app
update.
Employees overwhelmed with too many app alerts, tend to ignore them. When updates
come up, they may quickly click them away. They feel they can’t spare the time right now
and aren’t sure how long it will take.
Ignoring app updates on a device is dangerous. Many of those updates include important
security patches for found vulnerabilities. When they’re not installed, the device and its
network are at a higher risk. It becomes easier to suffer a successful cyberattack.Employees Reuse Passwords (and They’re Often Weak)Another security casualty of app fatigue is password security. The more SaaS accounts
someone must create, the more likely they are to reuse passwords. It’s estimated that
passwords are typically reused 64% of the time.
10
Credential breach is a key driver of cloud data breaches. Hackers can easily crack weak
passwords. The same password used several times leaves many accounts at risk.Employees May Turn Off AlertsSome alerts are okay to turn off. For example, do you really need to know every time
someone responds to a group thread? Or just when they @name you? But, turning off
important security alerts is not good.
There comes a breaking point when one more push notification can push someone over
the edge. They may turn off all the alerts they can across all apps. The problem with this is
that in the mix of alerts are important ones. Such as an anti-malware app warning about a
newly found virus.What’s the Answer to App Fatigue?
It’s not realistic to just go backward in time before all these apps were around. But you can
put a strategy in place that puts people in charge of their tech, and not the other way
around.
Streamline Your Business ApplicationsFrom both a productivity and security standpoint, fewer apps are better. The fewer apps
you have, the less risk. Also, the fewer passwords to remember and notifications to
address.
Look at the tools that you use to see where redundancies may be. Many companies are
using two or more apps that can do the same function.
Consider using an umbrella platform like Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace. These
platforms include several work tools, but users only need a single login to access them.Have Your IT Team Set up NotificationsIt’s difficult for users to know what types of notifications are the most important. Set up
their app notifications for them. This ensures they aren’t bombarded yet are still getting
the important ones.Automate Application UpdatesA cybersecurity best practice is to automate device and software updates. This takes the
process out of employees' hands. It enhances productivity by removing unnecessary
updates from their view.
Automating device updates through a managed services solution improves security. It also
mitigates the chance there will be a vulnerable app putting your network at risk.
11Open a Two-Way Communication About AlertsEmployees may never turn off an alert because they’re afraid they might get in trouble.
Managers may not even realize constant app alert interruptions are hurting productivity.
Communicate with employees and let them know they can communicate with you. Discuss
how to use alerts effectively. As well as the best ways to manage alerts for a better and
more productive workday.Need Help Taming Your Cloud App Environment?Today, it’s easy for cloud tools to get out of hand. Get some help consolidating and

You wouldn’t think a child’s toy could lead to a breach of your personal data. But this
happens all the time. What about your trash can sitting outside? Is it a treasure trove for
an identity thief trolling the neighborhood at night?
Many everyday objects can lead to identity theft. They often get overlooked because
people focus on their computers and cloud accounts. It’s important to have strong
passwords and use antivirus on your PC. But you also need to be wary of other ways that
hackers and thieves can get to your personal data.

Here are six common things that criminals can use to steal your information.Old Smart Phones People replace their smartphones about every two and a half years. That’s a lot of old
phones laying around containing personal data.
Just think of all the information our mobile phones hold. We have synced connections with
cloud services. Phones also hold banking apps, business apps, and personal health apps.
These are all nicely stored on one small device.
As chip technology has advanced, smartphones have been able to hold more “stuff.” This
means documents and spreadsheets can now be easily stored on them. Along with reams
of photos and videos.
A cybercriminal could easily strike data theft gold by finding an old smartphone. They
often end up at charity shops or in the trash. Make sure that you properly clean any old
phones by erasing all data. You should also dispose of them properly. You shouldn’t just
throw electronics away like normal garbage.
Wireless Printers
Most printers are wireless these days. This means they are part of your home or work
network. Printing from another room is convenient. But the fact that your printer connects
to the internet can leave your data at risk.
Printers can store sensitive documents, such as tax paperwork or contracts. Most people
don't think about printers when putting data security protections in place. This leaves
them open to a hack. When this happens, a hacker can get data from the printer. They
could also leverage it to breach other devices on the same network.
Protect printers by ensuring you keep their firmware updated. Always install updates as
soon as possible. You should also turn it off when you don’t need it. When it’s off it’s not
accessible by a hacker.
USB Sticks
Did you ever run across a USB stick laying around? Perhaps you thought you scored a free
removable storage device. Or you are a good Samaritan and want to try to return it to the
rightful owner. But first, you need to see what’s on it to find them.
You should never plug a USB device of unknown origin into your computer. This is an old
trick in the hacker’s book. They plant malware on these sticks and then leave them around
as bait. As soon as you plug it into your device, it can infect it.
Old Hard Drives
10
When you are disposing of an old computer or old removable drive, make sure it’s clean.
Just deleting your files isn’t enough. Computer hard drives can have other personal data
stored in system and program files.
Plus, if you’re still logged into a browser, a lot of your personal data could be at risk.
Browsers store passwords, credit cards, visit history, and more.
It’s best to get help from an IT professional to properly erase your computer drive. This will
make it safe for disposal, donation, or reuse.
Trash Can
Identity theft criminals aren’t only online. They can also be trolling the neighborhood on
trash day. Be careful what you throw out in your trash.
It’s not unusual for garbage to enable identity theft. It can include pre-approved credit
card offers that you considered “junk mail.” Your trash can also hold voided checks, old
bank statements, and insurance paperwork. Any of these items could have the information
thieves need to commit fraud or pose as you.
A shredder can be your best friend in this case. You should shred any documents that
contain personal information. Do this before you throw them out. This extra step could
save you from a costly incident.
Children’s IoT Devices
Electronic bears, smart kid watches, Wi-Fi-connected Barbies… all toys that hackers love.
Mattel’s Hello Barbie was found to enable the theft of personal information. A hacker
could also use its microphone to spy on families.
These futuristic toys are often what kids want. Parents might think they’re cool, but don’t
consider their data security. After all, these are children’s toys. But that often means they
can be easier to hack. Cybercriminals also zero in on these IoT toys, knowing they aren’t
going to be as hard to breach.
You should be wary of any new internet-connected devices you bring into your home.
That includes toys! Install all firmware updates. Additionally, do your homework to see if a
data breach has involved the toy.
