Commenting on research just released, which claims to show that 54 per cent of small businesses - and 38 per cent of their larger peers - do not have a security awareness programme in place, Cryptzone says this is a common failing in many organisations.
The problem, says Dominic Saunders, Senior Vice President of the NETconsent Business Unit within the European IT threat mitigation specialist, is that many IT security managers - perhaps understandably - put too much faith in the understanding of technology amongst staff in their organisation.
