Nearly All Large Businesses Have a Cybersecurity Policy, But Is It Strong Enough?
Ninety-four percent of large businesses in the U.S. have a cybersecurity policy, according to the 2017 Cybersecurity Survey by Clutch, and most of them have had a policy for more than three years. U.S. enterprises are more likely to have a cybersecurity policy than most global organizations (two-thirds of which lack a formal cybersecurity policy), and policies most commonly include required security software, backups, scam detection and security incident reporting protocols.
Phishing attacks loom large in IT decision-makers’ minds, as 57 percent of those surveyed said their company has experienced a phishing attack in the last 12 months. Only 21 percent reported a ransomware attack on their company in the past year.
