83 percent of security professionals believe that employees have accidentally exposed customer or business sensitive data at their organization.

Accidental data breaches are often compounded by an organizational failure to encrypt data prior to it being shared – both internally and externally – putting their organizations at risk of non-compliance with major data privacy regulations, such as NYDFS Cybersecurity Regulation 23 NYCRR 500, GDPR, HIPAA and the emerging California Privacy Act (AB375), according to a national survey commissioned by Egress.
