IT security professionals, particularly executives, often access information that is not relevant to their day-to-day work, according to a new One Identity study focusing on “snooping” on the corporate network.

Dimensional Research polled more than 900 IT security professionals on behalf of One Identity. The respondents were from various types of companies in the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Australia, Singapore and Hong Kong, with at least 500 employees.
