A new survey has revealed that 89% of UK companies polled view themselves as vulnerable to a cyber attack. A total of 23% of these said they were ‘very or extremely’ vulnerable. Data protection company, Vormetric ’s survey also reveals that 23% of UK organisations have suffered a data breach, with 89% suffering an attack in the next year . Speaking to Infosecurity, director of threat research at Webroot David Kennerley explained that IoT services offer hackers boundless criminal monetization, limited only by how creative and motivated they choose to be. Businesses planning to invest in security in the past year run the risk of doing so in the wrong areas. Endpoint defences are popular, although Vormetric argues that these have proven to be largely ineffective against attacks on data.
