The 16th annual report της ΕΥ, “Global Information Security Survey 2013- Under cyber-attack” καταγράφει το επίπεδο ενημέρωσης και δράσης των επιχειρήσεων για την αντιμετώπιση των απειλών στον κυβερνοχώρο και διερευνά τις opinions περισσότερων από 1.900 ανώτερων στελεχών, παγκοσμίως.
Τα φετινά αποτελέσματα δείχνουν ότι οι εταιρείες συνεχίζουν να επενδύουν σημαντικά ποσά για να προστατευθούν από επιθέσεις στον κυβερνοχώρο, καθώς ο αριθμός των παραβιάσεων ασφαλείας αυξάνεται. Το ερώτημα δεν είναι πλέον το αν, αλλά πότε μία εταιρεία θα αποτελέσει στόχο attacks.
31% of respondents reported that the number of security incidents in businesses has grown by at least 5%, the last 12 months. Many have become aware of the extent and depth of the threat they face, and so 70% of companies is now responsible for information security at the top level of hierarchy.
Despite the fact that half of respondents plan to increase their budget by 5% or more in the next 12 months, 65% cite insufficient budgets for their number one challenge in order to meet the levels of operation required by their business. Among businesses with up to $10 million in revenue, that percentage rises to 71%.
Among the budgets for the next twelve months, 14% covers security modernization and emerging technologies. As today's technologies are built into an organization's network and culture, businesses need to be aware of how workers use their devices both in the workplace and in their personal lives. This is particularly true in relation to social media, which respondents identify as the area where they still feel uncertain about their ability to cope with the dangers.
