Half of 218 companies surveyed admitted that they had active user accounts belonging to former employees (an increase of 6 percent from 2004); nearly a quarter identified unauthorized personnel with administrator rights (a 4 percent increase); and more than half had worms compromise their networks. If there was a bright spot in the 2006 Mazu Networks Internal Threat Report, it was that 71 percent of worm infections were remediated in less than 24 hours. The IT professionals who responded to the survey came from 18 industries and government agencies. @ The full report is at SM Online.
