Third Parties Caused Data Breaches at 51% of Organizations
Remote access is becoming an organization s weakest attack surface, according to new research published today by the Ponemon Institute and third-party remote access provider SecureLink.
The new report, titled “A Crisis in Third-party Remote Access Security,” reveals a disparity between an organization s perceived third-party access security threat and the protective measures it puts in place.
Researchers found that organizations are exposing their networks to non-compliance and security risks by not taking action to reduce third-party access risk.
Nearly half (44%) of organizations were found to have experienced a security breach within the last 12 months. Of those organization, three-quarters (74%) said that the breach had occurred because too much privileged access had been given to third parties.
