Trustwave just published an infographic showing key findings from research it conducted on the past year's security issues and data breaches. Titled Uneducated Employees and Their 7 Deadly Sins, the summary reveals some startling findings, including the following:
- 87 percent of companies that experienced security breaches did not have security policies in place.
- Only 32 percent of respondent employees indicated they were educated on security policies.
- Organizations experience an average of 14.4 incidents of unintentional data loss per year due to employee negligence.
