The “people factor” and the information security paradox
2007 Global Security Survey
2007 GFSI Survey Cover

Two of the key findings from the 2007 Global Security Survey revolve around an organization’s people and a paradox that has been around for years.

The weakest link in an organization’s security is its people. An organization’s people include employees, customers, third parties and business partners. And of those people, the highest number of breaches are perpetrated via the customer. 

Even though information security incidents are grabbing the attention of business executives and boards, these individuals do not yet feel that they “own” the problem. In their estimation, the execution of solutions is the mandate of IT. This information security paradox has been alive and well for years; the 2007 security survey confirms just how widespread it is.

You’ll learn more about these issues in the fifth annual Global Security Survey. Read this compelling and thought-provoking publication.
