Last year I posted this, and this year I will do the same. The guys over at Cipherpoint (shout out to Mike Fleck)have published their “State of Collaboration Security Report“. I recommend heading over to their site and downloading it. As a teaser, some of the content you will see:
54% of surveyed organizations have experienced at least one security incident or breach of a file sharing or collaboration system. This statistic is up from 33% last year. We don’t know if the increase is due to more breaches or better ability to recognize them
67% of organizations plan to improve security for file sharing and collaboration. Perhaps this is the result of the above
Only 46% of organizations said that information security is responsible for the data security of information in file sharing and collaboration platforms. I feel that number is too low and I predict it will increase as information security teams expand their Data Loss Prevention deployments to SharePoint and the business critical nature of SharePoint becomes undeniable.

As you all know I like “infographics” too, a picture that can replace a 100 words is always better, so here is the one that was created for this too.
