Many Employees Ignoring Corporate Policies on Data and Computer Security

Following recent controversy over data security in the public sector, a new survey carried out by Absolute Software has revealed that commercial organisations face the same potential dangers because many of their employees do not follow corporate policies on data and computer security.

Nearly half of those polled (48 per cent) said data was threatened by employee negligence. Of those suffering security breaches, 43 per cent estimated costs to the business to be between £10,000 and £100,000, while 14 per cent said it had cost them over half a million pounds.
