U.S. Ranked 5th in Overall Cybersecurity
Comparitech Cybersecurity Study
The U.S. was ranked 5th most secure overall in a recent study by Comparitech, following behind Japan, France, Canada, and Denmark.
Cybersecurity Categories
The study on the global state of cybersecurity covered 60 countries, evaluating several categories to determine which country has the best and worst state of cybersecurity. The categories included the percentage of devices in a country infected with malware, the rate of various types of cyberattacks when compared to the population, cyber defense measures in place to prevent cyberattacks, and legislation (including in draft) that addresses cybersecurity concerns.
Cyber Attacks Know No Borders
No country was best across all categories, and while the U.S. is ranked in the top 5, links to less secure countries in the form of remote workers or third-party software could place a U.S.-based business at more risk than its ranking would indicate.
Currently, the onus of preparation falls on individual businesses, not countries.
What is your company doing to lessen the risk of potential cyberattacks? For instance, does it have its own mobile private network?
