Data | Increased risk of data breach if IT managed by external partner

Almost two-thirds (63%) of organisations now allow technology to be managed outside of their internal IT department which breeds increased security and privacy risks, new research has revealed.

The 2019 Harvey Nash/KPMG CIO survey revealed that when IT is managed externally, employers are twice as likely to have multiple security areas exposed and more likely to become the victim of large-scale cyber-attacks.
