A recent survey of more than 700 IT security decision-makers found that only 27 percent of respondents block privileged user access to data, a proven method of mitigating insider attacks. The survey, conducted by Vormetric in conjunction with Enterprise Strategy Group, also found that 66 percent of respondents use perimeter-focused network intrusion detection and prevention tools to identify and block insider threats, even though those tools are designed to protect from external attacks, not insider threats.
