A leading computer security analyst is predicting that even as companies implement more IT security to prevent Internet hackers from tapping their networks, there will be increased theft of secure data by insiders, like employees. The data security forecast by Joseph Ansanelli, chief executive officer of the data security firm Vontu, indicates that in 2006, as employees continue to learn about the value of sensitive customer information there is a real risk that this information will increasingly be misused by retail employees.
Insider selling of personal date or abusing it is already an issue I feel Choice Point, the and Derek Smith issue was a mixed bag. I feel an insider let the thief in and then distroyed the access record. Smith's $16 million gain was a nice profit for oops. SEC do you job. Generally the public has it wrong. Each of us has a right to control what we give to people. Your Drivers Permit Number, your Social Security Number are some private and should not be given to just anyone. Remember it is your money that the merchanr wants so if that be the case let them change to protect you personal data by not having access to it. Car Dealers, Banks and Credit Reporting companies are the big offenders. Car Dealers have your Drivers Permit number to test drive a car. Bank employees leave critical papers on their desks which may contain very personal data on you. Most Credit reporting companies sell you top line personal information to data selling firms. Demand protection or do not do business with a firm. You give it up you face the possible compromise.
