Organizations are not taking security considerations in to account when working with third-party data recovery data services, which puts them at risk of a data breach by unscrupulous providers, according to a recent report from the Ponemon Institute.
In the "Trends in Security of Data Recovery Operations" report released Jan. 11, 87 percent of respondents said they'd experienced a data breach in the past two years and 21 percent of that group admitted the breach occurred while the drive containing the data was with a third-party data recovery service, the Ponemon Institute found.
