Join Dave and Bill in The CyberHood today with Marc Maiffret & Brad Hibbert, eEye Digital Security, talking about the eEye survey findings and the summer of 2011 IT news for the all IT security professionals... and especially how the gap is closing between the IT security world and Personal Computing now called mobile communication, that everyone uses now! On June 17, vulnerability management provider eEye Digital Security will announce survey findings collected from more than 1,600 IT administrators, managers and C-level executives from enterprises across multiple industries and government organizations. The survey reveals that 60 percent of respondents view headline-driving threats such as Stuxnet, Night Dragon and Operation Aurora as minor, while over 50 percent admit that common malware and spyware is the number one threat to their organization. Additional key findings revealed by the survey include insight into what IT professionals perceive to be their main security concerns: • Lack of resources -- 48 percent of respondents indicated the number one concern was a lack of human, hardware and software resources • Zero Day threats -- 42 percent of respondents said lack of resources is leading to improper configuration and an inability to protect against zero-day vulnerabilities Respondents were asked if given a 20 percent increase in budget where would it best be spent: • Tools -- Over 60 percent of respondents said they would put extra money towards configuration compliance, security reporting and dashboards and patch management • Reporting -- 39 percent of respondents would put money toward regulatory compliance reporting
