Big firms bad at security
Medium-sized companies invest more in IT spending and security technologies than larger companies in the £430m-plus revenue bracket, according to a Computer Economics survey of US IT security managers.
But companies of all sizes fail to provide adequate security training in 65% of cases and a similar percentage fail to regularly audit their desktops.
Despite these deficiencies, companies are not authorising more cash for security projects.
“Security may be a hot topic, but that doesn’t mean that management is willing to spend more money on it,” says Computer Economics president Frank Scavo.
Only one-fifth of the medium-sized firms surveyed felt their budgets were inadequate compared to half of the respondents from large and small companies.
