89% of UK Organisations Suffered a Security Breach in 2010, PWC 2011 report

All types and size of business are susceptible to cyber attack; a recent report by PWC found that 89% of UK organisations suffered a security breach in 2010 and 59% experienced two or more breaches. Employee mobile devices and laptops were highlighted within the report as the most likely endpoint from which serious cyber attacks are executed against a company. The commercialisation of mobile devices has meant that it is more difficult for organisations to keep track of which employees are using which pieces of mobile technology – the line between personal and business use of technology is blurring and at a rapid rate.
