It is worrying that a new survey has found that whilst most business believe that they have comprehensive safeguards to protect data, they still run a high risk that every time an employee sends an email, connects to an unknown Internet resource, saves data to a USB stick, or posts messages on Twitter, or where data could be handed over to competitors or worse.

The recession is inevitably leading to job losses, a situation that was brought to focus in a recent survey by “Cyber-Ark” which found that 60% of workers in the City of London would be prepared to steal data from their employer if they thought their job was at risk and 40% had already downloaded data just in case.
Most worrying. .
