PwC Survey Says: Telecoms Are Overconfident About Security

fsr · Oct 2, 2011

According to PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC), telecom executives are "overconfident in the effectiveness of their information security practices." That's the interpretation of the data from the 2012 Global State of Information Security Survey, which gathered the responses of more than 640 respondents in the telecommunications industry.

The survey was conducted by PwC, CIO Magazine and CSO Magazine reached more than 9,600 execs from 138 countries. 647 of the more than 9,600 respondents identified themselves as members of the telecommunications industry.

The results of the survey are a bit mixed. On the one hand, respondents reported increased efforts to deal with security issues. In 2010, the same survey showed that 24% of the respondents didn't know how many security incidents occurred in the past year. In 2011, that was down to 8%. According to the survey, financial losses due to security breaches are down 28%.
