Security is an essential business responsibility. For the typical organization, at least half of the violations of the security policy are from internal personnel. While most of those violations are mistakes or errors caused by ignorance, some are performed intentionally and maliciously, against the company, other employees — or even customers. For a top executive, reducing these violations is crucial to maintaining a growing business. For an IT manager and/or security manager, reducing these violations is important to prevent downtime and improve efficiency. Fortunately, there are many steps that can be taken to help reduce end-user security violations. Most of these solutions are a combination of technology and training. And they are designed to address specific situations. These ideas might not address every issue occurring in your organization, but you are likely dealing with a majority of these concerns.
