Internal Abuse Overtakes Viruses as Security Threat
The Computer Security Institute says that moles, thieves and conniving saboteurs have
overtaken viruses and malware as the number one security threat to companies.
The annual Computer Crime and Security Survey for 2007 surveyed 494 security personnel from U.S. corporations and government agencies, finding that insider incidents were cited by 59 percent of respondents, while only 52 percent said they had encountered a conventional virus in the previous year.
