| More than half of IT professionals (57%) believe their organisation's senior management does not take enough responsibility for internal security, according to new research from IS Decisions Currently, the IT department (80%) takes responsibility for insider threat in nearly twice as many organisations as the C suite (43%) does. And while security budgets have grown by about a third over the last year, the average amount apportioned specifically to internal security accounts for just 3.6% - despite the increasing potential risks. However, 68% of IT professionals expect budgets on internal security to grow significantly within their organisation and 67% state they plan to look at specific tools, technology and data to help tackle insider threat, highlighting further the need for senior involvement. François Amigorena, CEO of IS Decisions, commented: "Senior executives need to wake up to the reality that is insider threat. For good reason, 2014 has been dubbed by many as the 'year of the breach', and no company is safe – no matter how large or small." | |||
