    Insider threat survey for your readers According to the Identity Theft Resource Center, insider-borne attacks have doubled in the last year. This is a real problem, and Lanxoma, the industry's first Restricted Access Permission System (RAPS) to combat insider threat, is conducting a survey to determine how organizations are protecting themselves against insider threat.
    Here’s a link to the survey: (http://www.questionpro.com/akira/TakeSurvey?id=1085692)
    We would love for you to take the survey. Additionally, if you post the survey link to your blog and encourage your readers to take the survey, we will provide you advance notice on the findings so you can blog about the findings before the news hits the wire.
    The survey will only take about two minutes. It’s short – I promise!
    One more important note: With the state of today's economy, security analysts are warning companies to be even more alert to potential insider attacks, warning organizations to be especially vigilant about protecting data networks against disgruntled employees. Insider threat greatly increases during times when companies are laying off staff, cutting back on raises and bonuses, deferring promotions, consolidating operations, and outsourcing work to save money. Not only are angry employees more likely to lash out against their employers, but stressed, worried employees also become easy targets for opportunistic rivals.
    We hope you’ll consider sharing this survey with your readers so we can get additional input.
    Thank you, in advance.
