Ninety Percent of Organizations Are Vulnerable to Insider Threats According to New Cybersecurity ReportCrowd Research Partners today released its latest Insider Threat Report, which shows that the vast majority of companies and government agencies are vulnerable to insider threats; about half experienced an insider attack in the last twelve months. Commissioned by Cybersecurity Insiders, this new insider threat study is based on a comprehensive online survey of 472 cybersecurity professionals, providing deep insights into the current state of insider threats and how organizations are responding to protect themselves.

"That's because they are launched by trusted insiders - both malicious insiders and negligent insiders with privileged access to sensitive data and applications." Report highlights include:
The Insider Threat Report was produced in partnership with leading cybersecurity vendors: CA (News - Alert) Technologies, Dashlane, Haystax Technology, HoloNet Security, Interset, Quest, Raytheon, RSA, Securonix, and Veriato.
