Concerns over data security continue to haunt organizations, with the vast majority of global companies indicating they feel vulnerable to data threats. The worry is justified, according to a new study, as too many organizations focus on compliance ahead of breach prevention; and invest in technologies that do not prevent data breaches. Those are among the findings of a study by 451 Research and Vormetric, a leader in enterprise data security for physical, virtual, big data and cloud environments.
The 2016 Vormetric Data Threat Report, the fourth annual study of IT security trends, which polled 1,100 senior IT security executives at large enterprises worldwide, looks at the rates of data breach and compliance failures, perceptions of threats to data, data security stances and IT security spending plans.
