Many businesses are less prepared than they think when it comes to using Web 2.0 technologies, a new survey has suggested.
While almost 97 per cent of companies polled by Forrester Research for Secure Computing said they believed themselves to be ready for internet threats, more than two-thirds admitted to needing to do more.
And when asked how regularly they fall foul of malware attacks, 79 per cent of respondents said they did so frequently.
‘The need to keep inappropriate content at bay, reduce non-business bandwidth consumption and limit exposure to internet threats gave rise to the industry of web filtering,’ the report stated.
It added: ‘The need for more effective web protection has never been greater.’
