Too Many SMBs Unprotected Against Cyber Threats


InformationWeek SMB: Too Many SMBs Unprotected Against Cyber Threats

Many companies don’t know when they’re being targeted by zero-day and other advanced attacks, and often aren’t responding effectively, reports the Ponemon Institute.


“According to a new survey conducted by Ponemon Institute and sponsored by NetWitness, 83% of information security professionals said their organization has been recently targeted by advanced threats, and 71% report that such attacks have increased in the past 12 months.

But even as these advanced attacks increase, many organizations don’t always know when they’re being attacked. Indeed, 41% of the 591 surveyed IT security managers in the United States said that they were unable to determine how frequently they were targeted by advanced threats.”
