What are privileged users doing to put your data at risk?

The 2016 ponemon study on the insecurity of privileged users

Published October 2016

Privileged users often are your riskiest employees. Anyone with elevated access to data, systems and computer assets, from account managers to executives pose a risk and 66% of respondents say privileged users look at information just out of curiosity. The Ponemon Report, “2016 Study on the Insecurity of Privileged Users,” tells you how your privileged users can be a serious insider risk to your users, data and networks.

The study reveals that, even though companies are taking steps to manage that risk, the perception among those knowledgeable about access rights in their organisations is that the risk is either unchanged or increasing. Security from the inside-out is the key to stopping privileged user insider threats. Protect your organisation from privileged users.
