[Dataloss] IT directors call for mandatory data breach disclosure

[Adam Shostack]

Does anyone have a pointer to the original survey?  A search of secure
computing's UK site didn't turn anything up. (The magazine's site, not
the firewall company's site.)

| Nearly seven out 10 IT managers believe that data breach disclosure should 
| be compulsory in the UK, according to a survey by Secure Computing.
| 
| The security firm polled 103 directors at this year's InfoSec security 
| show in London in April.
| 
| Over 80 per cent of respondents said that data leaks by insiders, whether 
| deliberate or accidental, is at the top of their list of security woes.
| 
| Only 17 per cent cited external threats posed by cyber-criminals, such as 
| spammers and hackers, as more dangerous.
