uk firms fail e-security test

Business leaders are offered advice on protecting themselves from cyberattack, as the UK government is urged to take a more active lead in IT security

Security experts have warned that e-security is dangerously poor in the UK, with most British firms failing to give enough attention to managing information risks.

The Information Assurance Advisory Council (IAAC) said on Thursday that almost 95 percent of UK companies are failing to adequately protect their electronic data from attack.
