Survey: Realities of a Remote Workforce Increase Cybersecurity Concerns for Half of All Small Business Owners, But Policies, Training Still Lag
The overnight move to a “virtual workplace” has increased cybersecurity concerns for small business owners, but many still have not implemented remote working policies to address cybersecurity threats, according to a new survey by the Cyber Readiness Institute (CRI).
Conducted from March 25-27, the survey* of 412 small business owners found that half of all business owners are concerned that remote working will lead to more cyberattacks. Yet, nearly 40% feel that economic uncertainty will prevent them from making necessary cybersecurity investments.
