Survey Reveals Staff Ignore IT Security Directives
A survey from Lieberman Software Corporation reveals that more than 80% of IT security professionals believe that corporate employees deliberately ignore security rules issued by the IT department.
The survey, which looked at the attitudes of nearly 250 IT security professionals, also discovered that more than half of those who think that workers deliberately ignore IT security directives do not believe end-users would listen more even if these mandates were issued by executive management.
These findings are despite the fact that more IT security professionals and vendors are insisting that in order to improve IT security within organizations, strategic guidance must be issued from the board level.
