Imapact of Insider Breaches
The lack of user education and awareness
training is an endemic problem that plagues most insider security
programs. When asked to pinpoint the cause of insider security
breaches in all their guises, respondents to the Information
Security survey thought nearly half of them were accidental or
unintentional, while only 17 percent were deliberate or malicious
(the remaining 35 percent were unknown). That suggests that security
practitioners have a long way to go in educating users about the
appropriate use of company-owned data and technology.
