Cyber-Ark, the digital data vaulting specialist, say the theft of a laptop from Aberdeen Royal Infirmary recently, which contained the details of more than 1,300 patients, could have been avoided.
"This incident, involving a laptop stolen from a locked office, smacks of poor security policies at the NHS authority," said Mark Fulbrook, Cyber-Ark's UK and Ireland director.
"Granted, the laptop was protected using a standard Windows password, but this level of security can easily be circumvented by an IT professional. You have to question why the data was stored on unencrypted basis on the computer in the first place," he cwuix.
