Well-Meaning Insiders

Well-meaning insiders include company employees who inadvertently violate data security policies. An analysis of breaches caused by well-meaning insiders yields five main types:

• Data exposed on servers and desktops
• Lost or stolen laptops
• Data sent via email, Web mail, or saved to removable devices
• Third-party data loss incidents
• Business processes that automate the spread of sensitive data

Malicious Insiders

Malicious insiders are a small yet growing segment source of data breaches. Why do these employees matter? Malicious insiders cost companies more. The Ponemon study found that data breaches involving negligence cost $199 per record, whereas those caused by malicious acts cost $225 per record.¹ Data Breaches caused by malicious insiders fall into four groups:

• White collar crime
• Terminated employees
• Career building with company data
• Industrial espionage

Targeted Attacks

Driven by the rise in organized cybercrime and the growing black market value of information such as bank accounts, credit card numbers, and personally identifiable information, targeted attacks are increasingly aimed at stealing confidential information from employees and corporations. In fact, more than 90 percent of records breached in 2008 involved groups identified by law enforcement as organized crime.²

There are four phases of a targeted attack: incursion, discovery, capture, and exfiltration.

A targeted attack on confidential data can be defeated at any one of these four phases. What can you do today to prevent a data breach in your organization? Learn more by downloading 6 Steps to Prevent a Data Breach.
