Recommendations

Europe is a world leader both in the implementation of IT and telecommunications technologies and in manufacturing and industry. As a result, the cyberthreat landscape is very broad-based in this region. With human error playing a major role in most cybersecurity incidents, raising employee cyber awareness should be one of the top priorities for European companies, especially in the wake of the new GDPR regulations coming into effect in May 2018.

*These statistics are based on results from an online survey of 4,474 business representatives from companies with up to 4,999 employees around the world, conducted in 2019 by Kaspersky and B2B International. Statistics based on less than 30 respondents should be used with caution, due to this being a low base.
