Because of the onslaught of media attention exposing privacy breaches, you know you need to secure your mainframe data.
Chances are, you have taken steps to do so by installing a host of anti-intrusion technologies that keep unauthorized parties—both internal and external—from accessing your
critical data.
But that’s not enough any more. You also need to protect against data breaches caused by trusted insiders who have authorized access.
Study after study reveals that the biggest security threat organizations face is internal. Industry analysts such as Gartner and Forrester indicate an overwhelming majority of security incidents incurring actual losses are inside jobs.
These findings are mirrored in another report, issued by the Ponemon Institute: An estimated 40 percent of data security breaches are caused by non-malicious employee error; 30 percent by malicious employee activity.
An increasing number of laws require notification of customers after a breach has taken place, so companies have a bottom-line need to lessen the likelihood and contain the impact of data breaches.
According to a second Ponemon Institute study, 20 percent of consumers have terminated a business relationship when a data privacy breach occurred; an additional 40 percent would consider doing so.
