Employees and other insiders inadvertently exposing sensitive or confidential information is a nightmare scenario for companies. Managing Insider Risk through Training & Culture, sponsored by Experian® Data Breach Resolution, reveals why this security risk persists, despite millions of dollars spent on investments in employee training and other efforts to reduce careless behavior in the handling of sensitive and confidential information. Ponemon Institute surveyed 601 individuals in companies that have a data protection and privacy training (DPPT) program and who are knowledgeable about the program.
