Survey: Disgruntled IT Workers Have No Qualms Taking Sensitive Info

According to a survey by Cyber-Ark, nine out of 10 IT administrators would have no qualms about taking valuable and sensitive company information if they were laid off.

vnunet.com reports that a third of administrators said they would escape with the privileged password list, as well as CEO passwords, customer databases and R&D and M&A plans. Only 12 percent of the 300 IT professionals surveys said they would take nothing, according to Contractor UK.

Cyber-Ark CEO Udi Mokady says companies would be wise to secure their privileged identities and sensitive information in a digital vault. Who has access to the vault can then be audited to keep track of the data.
