The new 2011 Cybersecurity Watch Survey conducted by CSO magazine and sponsored by Deloitte, found that unintentional exposure of private or sensitive information has significantly declined since 2010, in part because of increased training for cybersecurity workers (65 percent) and the implementation of tools like data loss prevention (65 percent)."
