Nearly one in four government organizations will incur a large-scale data breach—the highest percentage of any industry. What’s more, the majority of breaches are coming from the inside. That’s right, from employees who improperly use, share and dispose of information, data and documents. It’s the citizens of your own network who are causing the most damage.
