Managers unaware of extent of IT access to company data - Ireland’s CIO and strategy news and reports service – Siliconrepublic.com
Senior management is often unaware of how much access their IT departments have to sensitive internal data – up to and including a CEO’s private files.
A new survey of almost 500 IT professionals in the US and UK has
found that 42pc of IT staff can obtain unauthorised access to their
organisation’s most confidential documents. Almost the same amount of
those polled (39pc) said senior executives in their respective
organisations have no idea what IT can and cannot access.
