In response to the increased threat of cyberattacks, 3M has established a new educational campaign: “Visual Hacking Key Risk Areas.”
Here are four things to know about the campaign.
1. “Visual hacking” is defined as viewing or capturing private information on a screen device, workspace, copier, etc. for unauthorized use.
2. The Ponemon Institute, sponsored by 3M Company and the Visual Privacy Advisory Council, conducted the Visual Hacking Experiment.
3. During the course of the experiment, it was found a hacker was able to visually hack information from the participating companies in 88 percent of attempts.
4. “Visual hacking can target any industry but may be especially dangerous in healthcare and financial industries, given the sensitive information involved in nearly every customer interaction and the desire for malicious parties to obtain it,” said John Brenberg, information security and compliance manager with 3M and member of the Visual Privacy Advisory Council.
