The two most dangerous IT security sins, that everyone does

Employees are putting business data at risk with their email and file sharing habits. This is among the findings of the latest survey by email encryption specialist DataMotion.

Although companies are increasingly putting security and compliance policies in place nearly 44 per cent of respondents admitted that these are only moderately enforced at best.

In addition more than three-quarters of respondents said they believe employees at least occasionally violate their company’s compliance and security policies. More than one in five said those who do so are aware of what they are doing, but violate the policy anyway to simply get their job done.
