A study commissioned by McAfee in Europe puts some numbers to the danger that systems and networks face from within. Here's some of the findings:
- 21% let family and friends use company laptops and PCs to access the Internet
- 60% admit to storing personal content on their work PC
- 10% admit downloading content at work they shouldn't
- 51% have no idea how to update the anti-virus protection on their company PC
You can read more of the results from
The Register.
You can protect all you want against attacks from the outside, but those insiders, especially those laptops and devices that leave the office, can kill you. Of course, if you were part of the audience for our Enterprise Security Challenges for 2006 webcasts, you heard all of this. If you weren't, you can still
catch them on demand.
