U.S. Businesses Lead the Pack in Cyber Security Readiness
Four in 10 (41 percent) US business leaders consider cyber security as a major priority, compared just 20 percent in Europe and 30 percent globally, research from BT has revealed.
The research, which assessed attitudes to cyber security and levels of preparedness among IT decision makers, highlights that European businesses are lagging behind their US counterparts in crucial areas. In the US 90 percent of organizations are able to measure the return on investment (ROI) of cyber security measures, compared to just over half in Europe (58 percent). Similarly, 86 percent of US directors and senior decision makers say they are given IT security training, compared to just 44 percent in Europe.
