Human factors play a central role in security. Recent research confirms what IT managers have long suspected: users, as they naturally go about trying to do their work, present grave security risks. One study, for example, found users do everything from downloading data onto unsecured mobile devices (61%) to using web-based personal email for business documents (52%)1. Such activities present security risks and probably violate company security policy.

IT too often is portrayed as the security heavy, forced to try to halt such activities by imposing what users view as onerous steps in the name of security. Feeling these steps hinder their productivity, users go to great lengths to avoid or circumvent even the most reasonable security measures, creating significant vulnerabilities in the process.
