Symantec study finds outsourcing security a top priority

75% of European organizations are outsourcing part of their security function, new research from Symantec has found.

This is because organizations are facing increasing risk, regulatory and cost pressures, plus staffing problems. The survey of 500 mid- to large-scale companies found that 95% of respondents had suffered attacks in the past two years. 75% said that organizations counted such attacks in their top two greatest risks.

Businesses require a service that tackles security risks with expertise and thoroughness. Providing clients with round the clock, seven days a week surveillance, like iDBA means that security breaches are most likely to be found and dealt with immediately.

The service relies on specialists and experts from an outsourced team, which means that clients have access to a wealth of field experience when dealing with security risks.
