o Report: Nearly Half of Federal Agencies Were Targets of Insider Threats
Alexandria, Va. -- While the vast majority of federal agencies are more focused on combating insider threats today than they were a year ago, nearly half were a target of an insider threat and nearly a third lost data to an insider incident in the past 12 months, according to a new survey by MeriTalk. The report, underwritten by Symantec, surveyed 150 federal IT managers familiar with their organization's cyber security efforts. To help minimize this risk, 51% of federal IT managers run mock attacks or other test scenarios, and 73% offer annual online training. However, just 39% offer in-person training and only 29% update their security protocol manuals for employee review. "This isn't just about Snowden," said Steve O'Keeffe, MeriTalk's founder. "If you Google how to make a nuclear bomb -- and don't do it from your PC -- you’ll see the dangers of exfiltration. Training can help -- but we need security systems that are smarter by design."
