Security company Bit9 yesterday released the findings from their 2013 Server Security Survey, which consisted of 800 IT and security professionals across the world. When viewed through the lens of today's advanced threat landscape, the results are quite troubling. Below are just three of the key findings:
- 55% of security professionals say they're concerned about targeted attacks and data breaches on servers in 2013.
- 25% of respondents said they 'don't know' if they've been hit by a server attack.
- 92% of respondents revealed that they still use signature-based antivirus software on their servers.
The combination of the above stats reveals a sobering realization: While the majority of security professionals surveyed say they're concerned about targeted attacks and data breaches, the vast majority of them aren't adequately prepared to defend themselves for those attack and breaches. And that's what a large chunk of today's malware is - targeted, intelligent, evolving. IT and security professionals need to arm themselves with
powerful security solutions that can keep up and protect them instantaneously in today's adaptive threat landscape.
