88% of Breaches Involve Insider Negligence



Malicious acts only account for 12% of reported breaches. Preventing the negligent acts, which are the cause of a breach 88% of the time, is much easier than trying to stop someone who is actively attempting to steal data. By creating an risk strategy and putting DLP policies and an Enterprise DLP (eDLP) technology into place, an organization can protect itself from negligent data loss.

Someone maliciously trying to steal data has a high likelihood of success. If organizations can effectively stop the easy stuff, the negligent leaks, they will achieve a much higher risk reduction than if their focus is simply to stop malicious acts.
