Staffcop - to serve and protect!

Corporate data security is an important issue for any company regardless of the size. The nature and focus of corporate data security has changed dramatically in the last 10 years. Most current businesses use digital technologies, high performance computers, e-commerce solutions, wireless devices and other technology innovations in effort to perform more efficiently.

In spite of a wide range of IT solutions available for businesses, there have been new threats to systems and data integrity with security breaches being reported regularly. The focus of corporate technology strategies is changing to include the new ways of doing business so the IT budgets of security departments and agencies inevitably have to grow. In fact, billions of dollars are spent each year on corporate network security solutions intended to prevent and fight hacker attacks. However, there are some important facts most people do not realize.

  • Statistically over 80% of security breaches are caused by insiders – most often employees.
  • More than 20% of attacks on the corporate Web sites come from the inside!
  • Almost 30% of companies experience more than 5 attacks from the inside per year.
