Organizations are investing in information security at record levels yet remain vulnerable to low-tech threats such as visual hacking, where someone can capture sensitive information with nothing more than a smart phone camera. In response, 3M has launched its Visual Hacking Key Risk Areas educational campaign to assist security professionals and IT managers in high-risk industries better understand where vulnerabilities to data privacy exist and how they can be secured.
Worldwide spending on information security will reach $75.4 billion in 2015, an improvement of 4.7 percent over 2014, according to the latest forecast from Gartner, Inc.1 but such investments might not address all areas where data vulnerabilities exist. Ponemon Institute recently conducted the Visual Hacking Experiment, jointly sponsored by 3M Company and the Visual Privacy Advisory Council, on visual hacking, defined as the viewing or capturing of private, sensitive or confidential information on a screen device, workspace, copier, etc. for unauthorized use. It found that a white hat hacker was able to gain access to participating companies and visually hack sensitive information in 88 percent of attempts.
“Visual hacking can target any industry but may be especially dangerous in healthcare and financial industries, given the sensitive information involved in nearly every customer interaction and the desire for malicious parties to obtain it,” said John Brenberg, Information Security & Compliance Manager, 3M and member of the Visual Privacy Advisory Council (VPAC). “The 3M Key Risk Areas campaign aims to assist these organizations understand the threats that visual hacking poses and assist them expand their privacy programs to comprise much needed administrative privacy measures.”
