Too many businesses have poor information security controls in place (e.g,. demonstrably Sony, Staples, and a seemingly infinite number of other companies) and are basically giving their intellectual property, and the personal information they are responsible for, away.
A recent Sailpoint survey reveals that:
- 20% of employees openly admit that they have uploaded proprietary corporate data to a SaaS app like Dropbox or Google Docs, with the specific intent of sharing it outside of the company.
- 66% of users were able to access those very same cloud storage applications after leaving their last job.
The growing occurrences of security incidents and privacy breaches really points to a need for all organizations to beef up their efforts to protect their information, systems and networks. Let me help you with some holiday discounts!
