A study by Workshare, a company focused on secure file sharing applications, says that 68 percent of the 800 professionals surveyed failed to remove metadata before sharing documents. metadata is embedded information included with PDF files, Microsoft Office documents, images, etc. When it comes to this information, most organizations don’t even know it exists, let alone know to protect it. The data that was leaked in those documents could help an attacker map a plan of attack; either via Phishing or malware delivery. Fixing this problem is something that can be done in-house.”]
