MINNEAPOLIS, March 05, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Code42 Software, Inc., the leader in data loss and insider threat protection, today released its annual Data Exposure Report (DER) for 2024, examining the intricacies of insider threats facing organizations today. The study found that data loss from insiders poses increased threats to security, further exacerbated by the introduction of AI and generative AI (GenAI) technology.

Key Points: 
  • The study found that data loss from insiders poses increased threats to security, further exacerbated by the introduction of AI and generative AI (GenAI) technology.
  • Since 2021, there has been a 28% average increase in monthly insider-driven data exposure, loss, leak, and theft events.
  • While most companies (99%) have data protection solutions in place, 78% of cybersecurity leaders admit they’ve still had sensitive data breached, leaked, or exposed.
  • We also see that source code is now considered the most important data to protect, other than financial information and research data.
