Data breach concerns running rampant, survey finds - By Mark Brunelli

"IT security and compliance practitioners are exhibiting a "disturbing lack of confidence" in the ability of organizations to use sensitive information securely, a new survey finds.

The survey, which was sponsored by Oracle and conducted by the Traverse City, Mich.-based Ponemon Institute, looked at the data privacy and data protection concerns of 1,000 IT security workers and compliance professionals. It found that many see the potential for disastrous data loss and feel that their organizations aren't equipped to deal with the risk."
