IT managers have pointed the finger of blame at employees - saying they pose the greatest threat to an organisation's security - ahead of simple human error and 'script kiddies'.
A poll, conducted by ZDNet Australia, found that employees pose the greatest threat to security. One respondent said staff pay far too little attention to it.
Simple human error came a close second in the stakes with 'script kiddies' also considered a major threat despite rigid security access and privilege functionality.
Security continues to be a major concern for CIOs and IT managers trying to protect their business infrastructure. Organisations are increasingly looking at options such as protection for remote users connecting to the corporate network, and penetration testing. Security flaws have also been hot topics, as have virus and vulnerability alerts.
