The Department for Business, Enterprise and Regulatory Reform recently published its bi-annual Infromation Security Breaches survey (HP is a contributor).
There is some good news.
- 84% [of companies surveyed] are heavily dependent on their IT systems
- 81% believe their board gives a high or very high priority to information security
- 77% see protecting customer data as very important
But the bad news is that computer incidents are widespread among large companies (over 500 people).
- 96% have had a security incident int he preceding year
- In fact, they had, on average, 400
- The average cost of the worst incident was £1-2m
And there are still weak spots such as instant messaging and encryption.
The Get Safe Online blog continues the theme, for example in this post about data loss.
