Default UK businesses are pants when it comes to cyber security

The UK approach to cyber security is so rubbish that even the Americans beat us, according to a new survey from BT. BT doesn't have a great track record on security, it must be noted.

The research was carried out by Vanson Bournem but commissioned by BT shows that Brits stick their hands in their ears and shout la la la when security is mentioned, despite recent government initiatives to boost awareness of the need for cyber security.

Only 17 percent of UK IT decision makers said cyber security was a major priority for their organisation, compared with 41 percent in the US.

Brazil, where 52 percent of respondents reported that their organisation is treating cyber attacks as a major threat is the best.
