Malware is the most destructive security threat affecting organisations of all sizes in the public and private sector, a survey of information security professionals reveals.

The majority of respondents (86%) perceive malware as an extreme threat, according to the 2019 malware report by the Cybersecurity Insiders security community and IT management software firm HelpSystems.
More than three in 10 (37%) said the threat was moderate, while only 11% said malware was a small threat and just 3% said they do not perceive malware as a threat at all.

The survey shows that organisations prioritise user awareness training (75%) and anti-malware solutions (74%) as most effective in preventing malware attacks. The survey indicates both anti-malware/antivirus/endpoint security solutions (74%) and email and web gateways (64%) were highly effective as preventive approaches to malware/ransomware threats.
