Here's some good and bad news. First, it looks like managers in the Federal government are actually concerned about data breaches. The bad news is that most of them think they are secure (or have a high level of security). The intruders are inside -- it's pretty much guaranteed at this point.
Data breaches are the primary concern of information technology managers at the federal, state and local government levels and in the private sector, according to a recent survey of 600 IT executives.
Of the 200 federal IT executives responding, more than three-quarters said their agency has an overall high level of IT security, but just over half of their counterparts in the private sector and state and local government are that confident. The survey also reported that fewer than half of the IT executives interviewed said they were sharing threat incident information among themselves. [From Data breaches found to worry managers]
