Employees unsure whether information is confidential: survey
Shares
A new survey carried out by the research operation of security vendor KnowBe4 has found that nearly a quarter of employees are unsure whether the information they are working with is confidential or not.
The international survey with more than 400,000 respondents found 24% were unsure whether the information they are working with is confidential or not. That means they don't know whether or not they can safely share it with people outside the organisation risks leaking out, without the employees being aware of the hazard.
This "indicates poor training and follow-up by management," according to KnowBe4 research director Kai Roer.
