Most IT Managers Expect Major Security Hit Every Year
A new survey shows that 60% of IT managers expect at least one major incident every year that could halt or disrupt a critical part of their businesses, according to a survey released by Symantec. The results also showed that 66% of IT managers expect they’ll be hit by some type of security or compliance incident in the next one to five years, according to Symantec. In addition, 58% say they anticipate suffering a major data loss, caused by a data center outage, corruption of data, or a security breach, at least once every five years
The company this week released its IT Risk Management Report. Over the course of a year, Symantec analysts surveyed 500 IT executives and managers about the risks that their organizations are facing.
“As organizations are growing more and more dependent on their IT systems to conduct business, IT risk has become a primary concern for business leaders,” said Greg Hughes, an executive VP with Symantec, in a statement.
