While data security has become a priority for management, many businesses are still struggling to incorporate it effectively into their organization.
A new Data Security Survey from Dell reveals that although the C-suite recognizes the benefits of data security, organizations are still struggling to develop programs that effectively incorporate security strategies without detracting from other business initiatives.
Among other findings are that 82 percent of IT and business decision makers have attempted to limit data access locations for employees in an attempt to improve security. Also, despite having protections in place, 73 percent of respondents are still concerned about malware and advanced persistent threats.
Cost is a concern when it comes to building on existing efforts, with 53 percent of respondents citing cost constraints as a reason why they don't anticipate adding additional security features in the future. In addition only one in four respondents are very confident in their C-Suite's ability to budget enough for data security solutions over the next five years.
