A recent article reveals that a staggering 88% of IT administrators would steal corporate secrets, passwords, customer databases, financial reports, etc. on their way out the door if they were ever laid off. One third of IT professionals also admitted in the survey to having snooped around on their company’s network and looked at confidential information including individual’s salaries and personal emails. A whopping one quarter of companies surveyed admitted being victims of internal sabotage and/or IT security fraud. IT professionals are integral to most companies today, and most all have the ability to commit these crimes. Character is a very important consideration when hiring anyone, even more so in the realm of IT.
