Report: Data Loss Risks During Downsizing

Data Loss Risks During Downsizing As Employees Exit, so does Corporate Data, February 23, 2009

  • “Sponsored by Symantec, Ponemon Institute independently conducted this national study…to understand what employees are doing with the data on the laptops their employers provided them. According to our findings, 59% of employees who leave or are asked to leave are stealing company data. Moreover, 79% of these respondents admit that their former employer did not permit them to leave with company data. Our study reveals that companies are doing a very poor job at preventing former employees from stealing data. Only 15% of respondents’ companies review or perform an audit of the paper and/or electronic documents employees are taking. If they conduct a review, 45% say it was not complete and 29% say it was superficial.”
