NCA Blog Hackers Aren't Your Biggest Threat

The state of information security for companies in the U.S. is scary. 2014 was a record setting year in terms of data breaches with a staggering 783 breaches reported. That means on average more than 2 breaches were reported every day in 2014. The percentage by industry sector remained about the same as previous years although Health and Medical have the lion share at 42.5% and Business at 33%. When people hear about breaches, they immediately think about hackers. Yet hacking is responsible for only 29% of breaches.
