New cybersecurity reports just released by Cisco and Verizon Wireless
say that businesses are faced with more sophisticated security threats
from wireline and wireless devices running on their networks.
Perhaps the more disturbing revelation of Verizon’s study is that it’s
not hacktivists, criminals or those engaging in corporate espionage that
pose the greatest threat, but a company’s own employees. However, only
50% of all organizations provide IT training when a new employee joins a
company. more
Observation: Interestingly, even fewer businesses proactively check for all the other methods of corporate espionage, e.g. regular information security surveys and technical surveillance countermeasures inspections.
Coincidentally, the few that are pro-active seem to be among the most successful and profitable companies in America. Just coincidence?
