While the survey did show that around two thirds of businesses have good web security measures in place, like malware filters, some of the results were more disappointing.
Just 50% of companies have cloud-based cyber security systems in place right now (although 15% are exploring their options).
Cloud security gives businesses multiple layers of protection across their network and infrastructure that helps to keep data better protected against breaches or attacks.
Not only is it a good defence, but it also identifies threats before they become an issue.
The survey also highlighted that 10% of businesses plan to implement access management, which ensures only the right people can access the right systems.
A further 9% intend to prioritise VPNs (Virtual Private Networks) to allow secure network access for remote workers.
They’re also looking at zero-trust solutions where your network assumes every device or connection is a threat, until proven otherwise.
Of course, our advice is that you should already have these security solutions in place – especially if you have remote or hybrid workers.
If not, this is something to take action on quickly. All you need to do is pick up the phone or send us an email. We can help.
