There is a disconnect between rank-and-file employees and chief security officers on who is to blame in the event of a data breach, according to a report published last week by Egress Software Technologies Ltd. and Opinion Matters.

The survey was commissioned by Egress and received responses from 4,000 U.S. and U.K. employees to determine the root causes of employee-driven data breaches. The organization also reached out 500 U.S.- and U.K.-based information technology leaders.
