Nearly half of British IT admins secretly read workers email

New research reveals that a staggering 47 percent of British IT admin staff admit to accessing confidential or sensitive information. Information, that is, which they are not meant to be looking at in the first place. Cyber-Ark Software took the opportunity at the recent European Infosecurity Expo 2008 to survey the opinions of senior IT professionals regarding issues of trust, security and passwords. Nearly half of the 300 people asked, most from companies employing in excess of 1000 staff, admitted to snooping around the network.
