Video: Do You Know the Stats?

Written by Abby Ross | Oct 8, 2014

In conjunction with National Cybersecurity Awareness Month, our Trustwave team recently hit the streets of Chicago to learn what employees really know about security.

Beginning last week and ending today, we posted a daily video to the Trustwave Blog and on our YouTube channel. In our sixth and final video, we asked workers: Do you know the security stats? What do they think is the leading cause of corporate data breaches? What type of information are criminals most after? Which industry is most frequently breached? Being armed with this information may make for a more security-conscious employee.

After you watch, we want to hear from you. Share the videos over social media and email, comment on them, and, better yet, tell us the most harrowing - or proudest - tale of employee security actions you've witnessed as an IT pro. Lost laptops at airports? Sensitive emails sent to personal accounts? Passwords written on Post-it notes? Or perhaps a worker who clicked out of that phishing scam? Tweet at us @Trustwave and be sure to use the hashtag #securitysmarts.

Do you want to commiserate with other practitioners. Be sure to engage in the comment threads on our LinkedIn or Facebook pages - and interact with your peers!
