There is a gap between IT leaders and employees over data security and ownership that is undermining attempts to stem the growing tide of insider breach incidents, according to new research.

Data security company Egress announced the results of its first Insider Data Breach survey, examining the root causes of employee-driven data breaches, their frequency and impact.

The research was carried out by independent research organization Opinion Matters and incorporated the views of over 500 U.S. and U.K.-based IT leaders, and over 4000 U.S. and U.K.-based employees. The survey also explored how employees and executives differ in their views of what constitutes a data breach and what is acceptable behavior when sharing data.
