Earlier this week, the Government released the findings of its latest CyberSecurity Breaches Survey which revealed that 65 percent of big businesses had suffered a cyber attack in the past year. The research also highlighted that the cost of these attacks on businesses reached millions.
Together with our recent
research and Breach Confidence Index these findings raise serious security concerns about the misplaced
confidence levels among British businesses. Our study found that almost a quarter (24 percent) of the IT decision makers
surveyed were ‘very confident’ and 59 percent ‘fairly confident’ that their business
is protected against a data security breach.
Ilex
International’s Breach Confidence Index is a benchmark survey created
to monitor the level of confidence that British businesses have when it comes
to security breaches. Given the latest statistics in
the government’s CyberSecurity Breaches Survey, there is a major gap between the perception and
reality of security breaches among businesses.
With
the UK being a leading economic centre and a major target for cyberattacks, the
high confidence level is worrying and completely misplaced. Our research shows
that businesses have a false sense of security which could result in an
increase in security breaches.
Britain’s
businesses are being urged by Ilex International and the Government to better
protect themselves from cyber criminals, investing in better cyber security
measures. Ilex International’s Breach Confidence Index uncovers the reasons why British businesses had suffered a
security breach and best practices for prevention.
