Data Breach Risk Mitigation

Many organizations develop a false sense of security around data breach risks, based on their growing IT investment in traditional perimeter security and compliance initiatives. Here’s what they may not realize:

• Only 5% of data breaches are caused by malicious cyberattacks.
• Almost 55% of all data breach incidents are linked to lost or stolen data devices - laptops, mobile devices, flash drives, backup tapes.
• 44% of incidents are due to third-party handling of data.*Source: 2008 Global Stat of Information Security Study, PriceWaterhouseCoopers
