Ninety percent of businesses have been hit by a cybersecurity breach in the past year. Breaches cost 41 percent of businesses $500,000 or more. And the top two endpoints under attack are laptops and mobile devices.
Those are some of the high-level highlights from a survey via Juniper and the Ponemon Institute. The companies surveyed 583 IT and security professionals and highlight a few key issues.
Among the notable points:
- 52 percent of respondents say that 10 percent or less of their IT budget is allocated to security.
- 40 percent of respondents didn’t know the source of the attacks.
- 52 percent said insider abuse led to security breaches at their companies and 48 percent cited malicious software downloads.
