Spam is the leader among external threats: 73% of respondents chose it in a multivariate survey. At the same time, Belarusian companies were most often victims of spam (83%).
Also, 64% of enterprises in the CIS have suffered from various malware. According to the researchers, this indicator suggests that today companies still pay insufficient attention to antivirus protection.
Corporate phishing is a rather serious threat nowadays. According to ESET, 16% of companies in the CIS were affected by this type of threat. The highest indicator in the CIS is in Armenia, where 39% of companies fell victim to targeted phishing.
Another common internal threat is data leaks (7% of respondents reported intentional leaks and 23% - accidental). In Kazakhstan, 49% of respondents faced leaks.
The most popular information security tool among CIS companies is antivirus solutions (they were noted by 97% of respondents). Also, 62% of respondents monitor the use and updates of software, 44% provide control of external media, 12% turn to third-party companies to audit the company's IT security.
In order to strengthen information security, 55% of companies plan to allocate a budget for the purchase and renewal of software. 24% of respondents consider it necessary to invest in employee training, since the human factor in most cases plays a decisive role (especially when it comes to phishing, social engineering and accidental information leaks).
It is noteworthy that more than half of the respondents from Uzbekistan (53%) reported that their enterprises simply do not have a budget for information security. In Azerbaijan, 37% do not have such a budget. On average, the CIS this figure was 32%. This may be the reason for the fact that 9% of the surveyed companies consider the state of information security to be unsatisfactory.
