Technology
The technology sector endures cyber attacks and insider abuse on a daily basis. A high level of competition, geographically distributed partners, outsourced services, BYOD polices and freelance employees – all of this puts an enormous amount of confidential data at risk.
For technology companies, internal risks that are associated with employee activities include:
- Intellectual property theft
- Interruption of IT processes
- Leakage of client data
- Network and system disruption
- Contractual and regulatory non-compliance
