A real-time overview of the insider threat landscape

SpectorSoft recently surveyed 355 IT professionals, asking about their experience detecting and preventing insider threats – to explore how organizations are addressing this critical issue and how effective they have been.

Approximately 35 percent of respondents reported they had experienced an insider attack, but the situation is probably worse than they think. With an estimated 75 percent of all insider crimes going unnoticed, it seems likely that all organizations have experienced an insider crime, whether they know it or not.

61 percent said they couldn’t deter such attacks and 59 percent said they were unable even to detect one, leaving them vulnerable to fraud, data breaches, and IP theft.
