, Oct. 23, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — New research from Uniti\u2019s award-winning residential and business internet business segment Kinetic Business shows the impacts \u201cfatigue\u201d can have on enterprises, revealing businesses may be less prepared than they think as they face consistent challenges in protecting their companies. A culprit: employee inaction. <\/p>\n

The 2025 Kinetic Digital Safety & Privacy Report reveals people often neglect to take basic protective steps such as regularly updating passwords and reporting phishing attempts, which reduces the effectiveness of many companies\u2019 overall cybersecurity strategies.<\/p>\n

The research demonstrates why enterprises need to add stronger, more sophisticated layers of protection, such as managed network security services<\/a>, to guard against ever-growing digital threats, which consistently seek to exploit small gaps and seams where there is no overlap.<\/p>\n

The responsibility to protect companies, their customers\u2019 information, and employee data falls almost exclusively on resource-strapped IT departments, meaning they need advanced turnkey cybersecurity that doesn\u2019t rely just on user actions, but a solution that\u2019s built into networks.\u201d<\/p>\n

In the face of daily corporate security breaches costing companies billions in revenue and damaged reputations, companies often complement their IT-driven enterprise security with effective, yet basic security measures at the user-level, such as regular password updates to access company portals, intranets, and business data. Yet these measures aren\u2019t always taken, and the policies can go unenforced.<\/p>\n

The survey data shows only a third (37%) of respondents update their passwords every few months, while only a quarter (27%) read privacy policy updates, even though individuals are aware of the ubiquity of attacks and have personal concerns about threats. Respondents shared their security concerns including:<\/p>\n
