Today we released a survey on file security that we conducted at RSA.   This year, we decided to gauge the impact of Wikileaks.  We talked to 150 security professionals with some interesting results.

 
Not surprisingly, an overwhelming majority (82%) of respondents reported that breaches such as WikiLeaks made them reconsider their company’s data security policies. However, only 18% of respondents said that they knew the exact number of sensitive files they had, and just 39% could say for sure where those files were located on their servers. Even more startling, 65% of those polled said that they were unsure who has access to these sensitive files.

Specifically, we asked:  Has Wikileaks made you reconsider your company’s data security policy/habits?

 
Although everyone is thinking about it, the rubber hasn’t quite started to hit the road.  The other question we asked was:  In the wake of Wikileaks will you invest more money in data security?
