Businesses Don't Adequately Monitor Network Risks

Security company nCircle announced the results of an industry trend survey showing that although businesses' primary concern is reducing security risks, they do not have adequate risk-reporting tools in place, and are not able to measure their level of risk.
In a poll of 1,700 CIOs, CSOs and Security Directors, nCircle found that:


60 per cent were unsure if their network security risk was increasing or decreasing over time.

58 per cent were unable to generate reports about applications or vulnerabilities on their network by region, business unit or business owner.

52 per cent had no way to verify that they were compliant with their own internal security procedures.
