Although C-Suite executives recognize the benefits of data security, organizations continue to struggle with implementing programs that effectively incorporate security strategies without detracting from other business initiatives, #Dell reported this week.
Despite having deployed tools that address data security needs, business and IT decision makers report gaps in their comfort level with implementing or expanding data security programs that rely on these technologies, according to Dell’s first Data Security Survey. Moreover, the survey found that security concerns are limiting the adoption of cloud and mobility solutions throughout organizations.
The survey found that 82% of IT and business decision makers have attempted to limit data access locations for employees in an attempt to improve security. Also, despite having protections in place, 73% of respondents are still concerned about malware and advanced persistent threats.
Cost is also a concern when it comes to building on existing efforts, with 53% of respondents citing cost constraints as a reason why they don’t anticipate adding additional security features in the future. In addition only one in four respondents are very confident in their C-Suite’s ability to budget enough for data security solutions over the next five years.
