A gap is growing between employees' concern over their personal information security and workplace data practices, with 20% stating they would sell company passwords, according to a global survey from the Austin, Texas-based SailPoint.

Identity and access management provider SailPoint's Market Pulse Survey, designed to measure employee attitudes toward protecting corporate digital assets, found 85% of employees would react negatively if a company breached their personal information. Yet, employees exposed employers to possible data breaches through negligence and poor password practices.

Additionally, the survey highlighted an ongoing challenge for IT and security professionals: Twenty-six percent of employees admitted to uploading sensitive information to cloud apps with the specific intent to share data outside the company.
