Two-thirds of UK companies believe they are 'highly protected' and can adequately react to threats, but low 'cyber IQ' among employees poses a threat
LONDON, June 6 (Bernama-GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Two-thirds (63 percent) of UK businesses believe that their organisation is highly protected from attempts by outsiders to gain access to their systems and data, according to a survey by Willis Towers Watson. A similar proportion of organisations (66 percent) maintain that they have the right processes in place to adequately react to privacy and security threats.
The findings, from Willis Towers Watson's Cyber Pulse Survey, illustrate responses from organisations and their employees on cyber security practices across the United States and United Kingdom. The survey found that a majority of companies feel that they are adequately prepared for cyberattacks on their organisations, despite the frequency and breadth of impact of cyberattacks across industries in recent years seemingly indicating the contrary.
