Harsh? Maybe, but the message seems to have stuck. Our 2013 data shows that security professionals realize we need to own our strategies. Our 1,029 respondents are getting wise on awareness, with just 13% saying they're more vulnerable than last year. Still, 73% see mobility as a threat, and 75% admit they may be ignorant of a breach. 5 Ways To Better Hunt The Zebras In Your Network Sponsored by HP This issue of InformationWeek's Must Reads explores ways to protect vulnerable users in your company, lessons learned from the Evernote breach, how the FBI is improving enterprise insider theft detection and more.
