Employee Data Theft: Reducing Your Most Significant and Overlooked Source of RiskMedia coverage has focused public and corporate attention on threats posed by external hackers, distracting from the most significant threat to data security – your own employees. Some threats come from deliberate misconduct, such as theft of data by departing employees looking to steal your clients and trade secrets. Others come from improper data handling due to carelessness and failure to follow computer usage policies. With the proliferation of devices and methods of moving data outside of your organization, your most valuable intellectual property assets are constantly at risk from within. Elijah can help safeguard your key assets and allow you to assure your customers, shareholders, directors, and auditors that your organization has taken prudent steps to maintain data security.

The hike in the number of data breaches from

Data TheftIs On The Rise

In a survey of over 1000 corporate executives employed by medium and large organizations, Elijah identified a significant unmet challenge posed by the risk of employee data theft and misuse.

Most organizations have perimeter defenses, but as many have learned the hard way, it is more difficult to defend against threats from within the firewall.

Insider threats come from employees and contractors who have access to electronic company records that they either deliberately steal or handle with insufficient care. This misappropriation and misuse can result in lost customers and contracts, reduced

stock prices, public embarrassment, expensive reporting requirements and costly litigation. These risks and costs cause great organizational harm, potentially threatening the viability of your business. Investing in enterprise network security systems without an effective employee risk management program is like purchasing a burglar alarm but leaving the front door wide open.
