RCMP: To ensure security, scare the bejesus out of users

摘要

Toronto - The RCMP told attendees at the IT Security and Governance conference that the biggest network threats come from inside the organization. But a security consultant said the best fixes may come from an unorthodox source on the outside. Luc Filion, one of the several civilians the RCMP employs to manage its Technical Security Branch in Ottawa, said that more than 60 per cent of network abuse is the result of staff tampering. It could be due to malicious intent, he said, or it could be purely accidental or due to apathy and neglect.
