SMEs Ignore growing IT Security threats !
Small and medium-sized firms are continuing to neglect IT security despite being at an increasing risk of attack, according to research released last week by analyst firm IDC.
Security company McAfree found that 70 % of IT decision makers put things like higher revenues and growing the customer base ahead of improving IT security on their list of priorites.
But smaller firms are at an increasing risk from more opportunistic criminals, able to make use of malware that can be easiliy sourced and downloaded.
IDC recommended that smaller firms with limited in-house knowledge and resouces to deal with increasung threats should turn to managed security services providers for help.
