More than a third of data breaches were caused by inside actors, according to a recent report from Verizon.
The 2019 Verizon Data Breach Investigations Report shows that internal actors were behind 34 percent of attacks in a study of nearly 42,000 cybersecurity incidents.

Less malicious, but no less potentially harmful acts include policy violations, carelessness or being duped by cybercriminals that use increasingly sophisticated attacks to gain access.
“These activities typically persist over time, and occur in all types of work environments, ranging from private companies to government agencies,” notes CISA.
