摘要

Sixty five percent of respondents to a recent social media poll believe that malicious intent outweighs technology as the biggest threat to personal data, reports Apricorn. Against the backdrop of a complex and growing cyber threat landscape, organisations are waking up to the fact that one of the biggest chinks in their armour against a data security breach is humans, according to a poll by Apricorn.The poll found that fifty two percent of the 12,527 respondents believe that people with malicious intent present the biggest danger, whilst thirteen percent believe that unintentional human error is also a risk. In stark comparison, just thirty five percent of those polled see technology as a threat to personal data.
