Cyber attacks – 85%
Data breach – 80%
IT telecoms outage – 77%
WRT trend, use of internet for malicious attack – 83%
All the top threats are IT related
Survey based on perception, rather than impact or likelihood
Act of terrorism – 10th-4th / 42%-55%
Again this could be down to perception as the survey was live during the Paris attacks
Worth noting that a study by Aon showed that 2015 was the most lethal year in a decade for terrorism in Europe.
One third of organizations not conducting a trend analysis, so how do they know what their threats are.
Of those who do, one third do not use it, so what’s the point.
Despite the Horizon showing that for all but four of the listed threats, the levels of concern are rising, 11% of organizations are still having their budgets cut.
