Varonis urges enterprises to plug Dropbox security hole

London, UK: Commenting on new research that has found that one in five employees uses Dropbox for work files, data governance specialist Varonis says the findings highlight the need for more robust controls that take the security risks out of collaboration. To add to the worry, the study - with insights from more than 1,000 corporate IT users - also reveals that when IT has a policy against using file sharing at work, half of employees use these services nonetheless; and corporate leaders are the worst culprits. VPs and directors are most likely to use Dropbox despite the risks.
