Do you know what your current risk level is for corporate data loss? And how do you compare with your peers?
We can help.
Symantec commissioned a Wall Street Journal Custom Studios report, “Keeping Your Data Safe: Protecting Corporate Information in the Cloud,” to help enterprises understand employee behavior, their attitude with the cloud, and how it affects data security.
While protecting information should be a company-wide concern, 51% of employees believe securing corporate information is the IT team’s problem, not theirs, according to the report. Furthermore, 79% of employees admit to engaging in risky behaviors—intentionally or unintentionally—that place corporate data at risk.
Are your employees putting your sensitive company data at risk?
Symantec found organizations with the highest risk of data loss have the following characteristics:
- Organizations with 5,000+ employees using cloud services
- Employees using cloud apps—both company sanctioned and otherwise
- Less than 100% of company data is encrypted
- Reliance on passwords instead of more sophisticated user authentication and identity management
- Uncertainty over data access and where it resides
