“The results of a Cyber-Ark global survey show that 35
percent of respondents believe their company’s highly-sensitive
information has been handed over to competitors. Thirty-seven
percent of the IT professionals surveyed cited ex-employees as the
most likely source of this abuse of trust.“While perhaps not surprising that disgruntled workers top the
list, it’s noteworthy that 28 percent suspected “human error” as
the next most likely cause, followed by falling victim to an
external hack or loss of a mobile device/laptop, each at 10
percent. The most popular information shared with competitors was
the customer database (26 percent) and R&D plans (13
percent).”
