On behalf of HP Inc., IDC surveyed 500 security decision makers and influencers at organizations in key North American (200 respondents from the U.S. and Canada) and European (300 respondents from the U.K., France, and Germany) markets, across vertical sectors from across the spectrum including banking and finance, telco, and energy.
Respondents were question on a wide variety of key factors related to their organizations’ approach to endpoint security. The results, as described in this IDC InfoBrief, indicate considerable scope for critical improvements in business cybersecurity awareness.
Based on responses to key questions, IDC also segmented the respondents into two groups: “Leaders” (defined by proactive, best practice approach to endpoint security throughout) and “Followers” (often unaware of the risks associated with their endpoint security devices and still with a way to go in terms of adopting a safe approach to managing their endpoint estate)
