There are a lot of frustrated IT managers out there. How do I know? Because a recent survey commissioned by Sungard Availability Services* revealed that the 1 thing IT managers said they would do if left in charge of their company’s #information #security program was enforce stricter #security policies on employees.
What security policies are they talking about? Pretty much the full gamut. The survey noted the top 5 perceived security threats to information systems as:
- vulnerable web applications (noted by 55% of respondents)
- being overall security “aware” (51%)
- out-of-date security patches (50%)
- failure to encrypt PCs and sensitive data (47%)
- obvious or missing passwords (44%)
