  The findings of the latest Orthus Data Leakage Audit Service suggest that IT personnel were responsible for 30 per cent of all incidents of data leakage identified during the course of the year's research. ... The findings support the argument that trusted users are the most likely to be the source of information leaks. The research analysed the ways in which users accessed, processed, stored and transmitted corporate sensitive information including personal information, financial information, and intellectual property. Around 100,000 hours of user activity were captured over the last 12 months. It identified which users were removing sensitive data, where they worked and exactly how and when it was removed, and date stamped visual evidence of these 'data leaks'. The analysis identified that the following departments were responsible for the amount of data leakage identified: IT – responsible for 30 per cent of incidents. Customer service – responsible for 22 per cent of incidents. Other (   [More...] [Less...]

We are all vulnerable – but there are ways to minimise risks, explains Ian Mann . Information security is about people as much as procedures. Research into the methods used by hardened hackers to compromise IT systems indicates that the human factor is crucial to the success of most attacks. In many cases attackers do not need to find technical vulnerabilities: hacking the human is sufficient. This flaw has been understood for a long time. So why is this critical area of information security neglected by most organisations? There are two primary reasons. First, the ‘business’ of information security is dominated by IT security hardware and software vendors. While vendor products have their place as part of a technological provisioning strategy, they do not address the great   [More...] [Less...]
