United Kingdom - 2015 information security breaches survey is published
The UK's Digital Economy Minister, Mr. Ed Vaizey, has launched the 2015 Information Security Breaches Survey at the Infosecurity Europe event last week.
Published on June 10, 2015
The survey shows the rising costs of malicious software attacks and staff-related breaches and illustrates the need for companies to take action. However, more firms are taking action to tackle cyber-security threats, with a third of organisations now using the government’s ‘Ten Steps to Cyber Security’ guidance, up from a quarter in 2014. Nearly half (49%) of all organisations have achieved a ‘Cyber Essentials’ badge to protect themselves from common internet threats, or plan to get one in the next year.
