Breach Detection, Prevention Harder Than 2 Years Ago Despite Security Spending: Survey


A new report from Enterprise Strategy Group found that many enterprises feel breach prevention and detection is more difficult today than two years ago.


According to a survey of 200 IT and information security professionals, 75 percent agreed that detecting and preventing a breach has become harder. Fifty-nine percent said malware has grown more sophisticated during the last 24 months and presents fresh challenges - even though the vast majority (87 percent) said they have increased endpoint security spending during the same period.
