...according to the Independent Oracle Users Group (IOUG) Enterprise Data Security survey. Joe McKendrick, Forbes and Database Trends and Applications (DBTA) Analyst/Contributor, writes about the escalating stakes of data security.
"When asked what they saw as the greatest risks, threats, or vulnerabilities to their data, human error came out on top, cited by 77% of respondents. Second was fear of inside hacks, cited by 63%, up from 57% in 2010."
The new 2014 Verizon Data Breach Investigations Report provides even further details around types of errors that are most common, including misdelivery (44%), publishing error (22%), and more.
Both are interesting reads, so check into them when you get a chance. And, if you are a member of the IOUG, please be sure to provide your responses to this year's 2014 Enterprise Data Security Survey. You should have received your invitation to participate via email."The data seems to suggest that highly repetitive and mundane business processes involving sensitive info are particularly error prone. It’s also noteworthy that this pattern contains more incidents caused by business partners than any other."
