Councils report increased number of security breeches
Figures compiled by Huntsman Security have shown that the local government sector has reported 202 more security breaches, a 14 per cent increase on the year before.
The report found that the majority of breeches were due to lacking data protection, with incidences where data was accidentally disclosed accounting for 64 per cent of all reported breaches in this time period.
Peter Woollacott, CEO of Huntsman Security, said: “Unfortunately, this is not the full story. The average organisation is subject to multiple breaches, of which only some will be detected, so the figures reported to the ICO are likely to be understated.
“Quite simply, no news is bad news: if breaches aren’t being detected, it most likely just means that security analysts are having difficulty finding the needles in the haystack.”
