Lancope conducted a survey of IT professionals at Infosecurity Europe in 2013. In 2013 65 percent of the respondents claimed they had not, or were not sure if they had experienced any security incidents in the prior 12 to 18 months. That number dropped to 39 percent this year. The threat of insider attacks, or insiders compromising or exposing data, rose from 32 percent in 2013 to 40 percent. The trend is likely a response to the Snowden NSA revelations and concerns over how an employee was able to exfiltrate so much valuable and sensitive data undetected.”]
