According to a recent survey about IT issues, small businesses were most concerned about viruses, trojans, and data leaks. The study was conducted by Trend Micro and consisted of input from 1,600 corporate users in the U.S., U.K., Germany, and Japan. Small businesses were least concerned about phishing scams and spam.
The survey stated that small businesses were less likely than big businesses to have policies in place to stop cyber-theft, however. 21 percent of small business employees feel that their IT department could do a better job of protecting their business from data-stealing malware, and 35 percent of these employees felt they could be better informed about the same malware.
As technology improves, it will become easier to steal information and data from these businesses. Without the appropriate blocks in place, this will evolve into a larger and larger issue for small organizations.
