As per the Global Corporate IT Security Risks 2013 survey conducted by Kaspersky Lab, it has been found out that majority of companies facing IT security incidents were unable to keep information about those incidents confidential due to pressure from third parties. This ultimately led to major blows to business reputations.
The study revealed that an average of 44% of companies that suffer a data leakage are forced to disclose the incident to clients who might potentially be affected by the incident, while 34% informed their business partners, 33% informed their suppliers, 27% reported to regulators, and 15% were obliged to disclose details to the media.
Large companies are more frequently faced with having to disclose details about IT security incidents to third parties. These organizations must primarily report to regulators, clients, and the media. The need to disclose this type of information naturally risks causing substantial damage to corporate reputations. Not infrequently, disclosure is also associated with financial losses in the form of fines imposed by regulators, and compensation for related losses incurred by clients and partners.
Kaspersky has therefore released Endpoint Security for Business platform for maintaining the security of an IT infrastructure by organizations. This platform provides anti-malware protection against complex targeted attacks and real-time threats across the entire company IT infrastructure.
