That number rose to 40 percent in 2014. Despite the uptick in cyber attacks, the report indicates that the total number of data breaches declined slightly from previous years and the average economic impact of breaches dropped 17 percent. Not surprisingly, 75 percent of organizations reported employee negligence is their greatest breach threat and that healthcare organizations continue to struggle to comply with increasing complex federal and state privacy and security regulations. Primary causes of breaches were lost or stolen devices (49 percent), employee mistakes or unintentional actions (46 percent) and third-party errors (41 percent). &#8220;The combination of insider-outsider threats presents a multi-level challenge, and healthcare organizations are lacking the resources to address this reality,&#8221; said Dr. Larry Ponemon, chairman and founder of the Ponemon Institute. &#8220;Employee negligence, such as a lost laptop, continues to be at the root of most data breaches..."}
