Many companies use several security solutions at the same time. This leads to a high level of complexity. Malwarebytes conducted an international survey of 50 companies on the topic of complexity.

IT departments in smaller companies often have limited human resources. In order to be able to defend themselves against increasingly sophisticated attacks from cyber criminals - such as ransomware - many companies have invested in their security infrastructure. However, this has often increased the complexity of the IT systems - especially when different software solutions are used.

On average, 3 IT employees manage 450 devices

These are the most important results of the survey:

  • Companies with fewer than 1.000 employees have an average of 450 end devices to manage and only three IT employees.
  • 68 percent of respondents see the biggest challenge as dealing with limited time and resources.
  • On average, respondents lose one working day per week due to unnecessary complexity.
  • 64 percent believe that the more difficult a security solution is to use, the less likely it is to be effective.
  • 89 percent therefore say that ease of use plays a significant role in the purchase of new security software.
