Survey: Despite dangers, IT personnel sleep well By Bill Brenner, News Writer 27 May 2004 | SearchSecurity.com Security practitioners know hackers are working overtime to attack their networks; that they're relying on outdated and unreliable security protocols. Despite it all, many still get a good night's rest. Of 337 IT managers and administrators surveyed April 26-30, 32% worry about "the next virus/worm" and an equal percentage fear "a security breach to the enterprise's network." But 34% said they have "no worries" at all and "sleep like a baby," according to results published this week by a Michigan research firm. http://searchsecurity.techtarget.com/originalContent/0,289142,sid14_gci967353,00.html And the press release http://www.prnewswire.com/cgi-bin/stories.pl?ACCT=104&STORY=/www/story/05-24-2004/0002179958&EDATE= Two issues tied as being of prime concern to those network administrators surveyed: 32% responded that they worry most about "the next virus/worm" and an equal percentage answered they worry most about "a security breach to the enterprise's network." The big surprise was that 34% of survey respondents said they had "no worries and sleep like a baby."
