The Leakiest Parts of Your Network

 

Here's some weekend reading for you. Cisco has released an exhaustive white paper on their latest findings on data leakage from a global survey of IT professionals,

Interesting nuggets:

- One third of IT professionals in the survey worry most about data leaks via USB devices. E-mail ranks number two at 25%.

- Security leaks coming from insiders is more of a concern than outside attacks.

- Nearly half admit they are not properly training their employees about data security.

Where's your weak point? If you don't know, you don't need to conduct a worldwide survey. Just poll your employees. Their responses may surprise you.
