Human error was the number one cause of data security incidents according to a new report released by the Privacy and Data Protection Team at US law firm BakerHostetler. In the incidents that the firm worked on last year, employee negligence was responsible 36% of the time. That was followed by theft by outsiders (22%), theft by insiders (16%), malware (16%) and phishing attacks (14%).

Having been raised as an identical twin, I’m very familiar with confusion around believing two items are exactly the same when in reality they are just very similar. I’ve seen the terms “Information Governance” and “Data Governance” used interchangeably and would like to clarify what I believe are the major differences.
