According to an investigation regarding missent emails in the workplace conducted by information security company Digital Arts Inc., over 64.6% of employees have experienced sending wrong emails (target: 1,102 individuals employed in companies across the country, 332 individuals in charge of information systems.)
\nIn addition to \u201cmistaking the recipient,\u201d some other real life examples of \u201csending mistaken emails\u201d are \u201cattaching the wrong file,\u201d or \u201centering an address supposed to be BCC as TO or CC.\u201d Many cases of \u201csending wrong emails\u201d can result in information leaks.<\/p>\n
Due to the revision of the Personal Information Protection Law, the enforcement of the \u201cMy Number\u201d system, and various information leakage problems in public institutions and major companies, all companies are being increasingly required to take security measures.
\nIn these circumstances, it seems that there is a high number of cases in which information leaks out of the company through the email of an employee.
\nAt the moment, email is an essential work tool. However, it has become such an inherent part of our everyday lives that the risk always exists that an employee will make a mistake using it.<\/p>\n
In the same survey, 61.3% of employees replied \u201cNot really\u201d when asked whether there are rules in their workplaces regarding the exchange of emails with people from outside the company. On the other hand, 64.5% of the companies (persons in charge of information systems) replied that \u201cThere are rules,\u201d making the gap evident.
\nIt can be inferred that the internal rules of the companies are not well known among their employees.<\/p>\n
As a result of recent leaks of customer information and confidential information from major companies, the number of employees who feel that there is a strong need to take measures to prevent these kinds of leaks from companies and customers is increasing.
\nCompanies, too, need to consider measures conforming to their situation, such as renewed internal announcements regarding prohibited matters and company rules, the introduction of security softwares, and others.<\/p>\n
