Study claims people losing patience with firms that endanger their data
It looks as the great British public is finally losing its patience with those businesses that it views as endangering their personal data, as a survey from LogRhythm claims to show that many people are now aware of the need for data disclosure legislation.
According to the research – which took in responses from 2,000 people – many users now have an overwhelming desire for data loss disclosure laws. Researchers found that 80% of respondents said that they now have reservations about trusting organizations to keep their data safe from hackers.
In a similar survey, conducted on LogRhythm’s behalf back in November 2010, only 63% were concerned about this issue – an increase of delta 27% Infosecurity notes. Further comparing the two sets of research, while last year 17% of respondents were adamant they would never have anything to do with organizations that had lost data as a result of cybercrime, in 2011 this figure rose to 26%.
