When we relay this message at talks and keynotes, the room typically looks indignant. “Not in our business,” we hear, and “our team would never be so malicious”.

But malicious behaviour counts for only a tiny fraction of all employee-related breaches. The vast majority come down to a lack of awareness and poor communication from the top.
