Manufacturers leave piles of sensitive data exposed

A report by U.S.-based cyber security firm Varonis Systems Inc. found that many manufacturing and engineering companies are not prepared to tackle a disruptive cyber attack, Security Brief reported. The report found that 40% of the organizations gave each of their employee easy access to more than 1,000 sensitive files. Organizations were also found leaving nearly 10,000 folders per terabyte of data exposed and accessible to anyone.
