Company insiders: Biggest threat to companies

A new report finds that, for the first time, virus infections have slipped to the second spot on the list of computer security troublemakers. In first placeâ€" a company's own workers.

The Computer Security Institute has just released the 2007 edition (PDF) of its long-running "Computer Crime and Security Survey," and it offers some dreary news for overworked computer security admins: average losses from attacks have surged this year.

More surprising is the finding that the single biggest security threat faced by corporate networks doesn't come from virus writers any more; instead, it comes "from company insiders."

Lawyers are jobless without disputes.
Physicians would be idle without diseases to treat.
Anti-virus companies have no reason to exist without virus.
