Growing Insider Threat to Business Data
The growing threat posed to confidential business data by trusted insiders has been highlighted by two major incidents in the U.S. in recent weeks. In the first, Fidelity National Information Services, a leading provider of core financial institution processing, card issuer and transaction processing services, announced that a former employee of its subsidiary, Certegy Check Services, had misappropriated and sold consumer information to a data broker who, in turn, sold a subset of that data to a limited number of direct marketing organizations.
