A popular advertisement asks, “What’s in your wallet?” I’ll go out on a limb here and say I probably know what’s in your wallet. It’s not much different than everyone else’s wallet. Credit cards, bank ATM/debit card, driver’s license, health insurance cards, family photos, important contact info and maybe some other personal information. So what is in your wallet isn’t too interesting.

A better question would be, “Who’s in your wallet?” I’m speaking figuratively, of course. In this web-connected world, all of that same information may be available on your computers or online in various cloud-hosted servers. It’s important to know who has access to your virtual wallet.

Your business also has a wallet of its own. Whether it’s an in-house server or cloud hosted services, your business is keeping all sorts of confidential information. Employee records, customer/patient records, customer credit card numbers, sales leads and confidential company information that gives you a competitive edge. This is information that hackers and even your competitors would like to have.

It’s unnerving to think that a stranger may be maliciously sifting through your confidential information. It’s worse when you find it’s not a stranger. The biggest threat to your organization could be just a few feet away.  Statistics show that 69% of data breaches are caused by employees.
