REDWOOD CITY, Calif., Aug. 23, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Lastline, Inc., the leader in advanced malware protection, today released results of a survey that underscores how cybercrime continues to plague organizations. The survey of 134 Black Hat USA 2017 attendees found that nearly 55 percent of respondents have suffered a cyberattack within their respective organizations, with 20 percent being hit with ransomware. While human error is a contributing factor behind these attacks, the survey also found scarce resources to help security teams respond, and a lack of best practices being implemented to prevent future attacks.
Results of the survey include:
“The threat of a cyberattack is something that organizations have to deal with on a daily basis,” said Christopher Kruegel, CEO, Lastline. “This survey highlights the need to adopt best practices and equip security teams with better tools to eliminate false positives and provide crucial information to help them prioritize and address those events that present the highest potential risk.”
