Compuware has announced the results of research revealing that 55% of UK organisations admitted to having one or more data breaches. With 49% of these companies having two or more breaches in the last two years, the problem is much more widespread than previous reports may have indicated.
The research was carried out by the Ponemon institute on behalf of Compuware - The UK sample was 785 IT Professionals working in large organisations.
The research found that the causes of these breaches are rarely hackers or 'social engineering' attacks (less that 10%) but are more likely to be negligent (63%) or malicious (37%) insiders.
