Trustwave based the report on more than 300 breach investigations and 2,000 penetration tests performed in 2011.
Key findings from the report include:
• Organizations allow employees and administrators to use weak passwords, such as “password1,” which leave the organization vulnerable to data breaches.
• Be wary of attachments. They often carry viruses that attack software systems and technological services.
• Organizations with multiple locations are susceptible to data breaches due to homogeneity across software systems.
