The new way of working of companies using cloud technology to boost their growth and adapting to the new collaboration and mobility needs of their employees, has opened new fronts of risks and security vulnerabilities. Companies are increasingly aware that their employees must be able to work better together, regardless of where they are. However, they are concerned about their ability to protect themselves from cyber attacks and keep their data safe.
Recently, Microsoft conducted a survey in Spain of companies with less than 300 users on security and from it they obtained that 80% of companies with less than 300 users feel vulnerable to a cyberattack and more than 71% have already suffered one. However, despite this reality, not all companies are sufficiently aware of the risks of not being protected. The proof ? More than half of companies do not have essential measures such as the ability to remotely wipe corporate data from an employee device (lost or stolen), protect the identity of their users, or use encryption. information for (emails, files, etc). And if we ask about more advanced protection measures to protect ourselves against threats (phishing, ransomware, targeted attacks) or simply from information leaks caused by employees (by accident or not), in our experience, more than 80% of companies they are not protected.
