• Trend Micro is a global leader in providing Internet security solutions for businesses and consumers. Trend Micro Canada commissioned Environics Research Group to conduct a nation-wide survey with small- and medium-sized businesses about IT security.
• The survey addressed experiences with and attitudes towards Internet security in general, and about cloud computing in particular.
Methodology
• Surveys were conducted with the individuals responsible for decisions about the company’s IT needs (in smaller companies, this was the business owner themselves).
• The margin of error for a sample of 502 is plus or minus 3.9 percentage points (at the 95% confidence level).
2011 Trend Micro Canada Survey key findings:
1) A majority (68%) of SMEs generally recognize that online information is at risk and say there is at least a moderate threat of outsiders gaining access to a company’s online information.
2) Nonetheless, SMEs are largely confident about their own IT security. A large majority (61%) calls their own security adequate or better (19% say it is state-of-the-art).
3) In part, this confidence is based on limited experience with Internet security breaches. Just over one in 10 (12%) SMEs have fallen victim to such a breach. Those that have not experienced a breach downplay the potential consequences in terms of lost time and productivity (only 58% say such an outcome is very or somewhat likely).
