Data protection? Just do the math

I hate doing the math when it comes to data protection, not least because the end user security sums just don’t add up more often than not. Case in point would be a survey regarding data theft and email usage from InvisiViewmedia which has just landed on my desk. This claims that 98 percent of employees think it is “vital to protect confidential information” yet at the same time reveals that a worrying 30 percent quite happily send that confidential information unsecured in the body of an email or as an unencrypted attachment.
