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 place— 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."
