Indian businesses at risk of repeated cyber attacks

Sophos, a provider of network and endpoint security solutions, has said that Indian businesses are at risk of repeated cyber attacks in a study termed ‘7 Uncomfortable Truths of Endpoint Security’. The firm also notes that Indian businesses are vulnerable to exploitation.

According to the study, IT managers are more likely to catch cybercriminals on their organisation’s servers and networks than anywhere else. The IT managers discovered 39 per cent of their significant cyber attacks on their organisation’s servers and 34.5 per cent on its networks. “Only 7.9 per cent were discovered on endpoints and 18.8 per cent, which is almost double the global average, were found on mobile devices,” added the report.
