Others technologies included network data loss prevention, full drive encryption, server/endpoint hardening, and endpoint data loss prevention. - Malicious intentions are behind 62 percent of data theft. Insider breaches comprised 33 percent of incidents while hackers comprised 29 percent; the remaining breaches were accidental. - Nearly two-thirds of organizations either didn’t know if they suffered any data breach incidents, or stated that they didn’t experience any. Of those that did, 46 percent saw a decline in breaches while 27 percent reported the same number of breaches from the previous year. and in extend Enterprise data security initiatives have accelerated data security as data theft and monetization become the ultimate goal for hackers and malicious insiders.
