An Imperva survey of more than 1000 UK residents indicates that insider threats are mainly comprised of normal, mainstream employees. Most strikingly, the survey found that 70% of respondents had clear plans to take something with them upon actually leaving their job. The most popular data is intellectual property (27%) and customer records (17%). Moreover, about half of respondents claimed to have personal ownership of the data - 59% in the case that they were about to change jobs, and 53% if they knew they were about to be dismissed.
