This also applies to the packaging industry, which is predominantly characterised by SMEs.<\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Keeping up with new threats is the biggest IT security challenge for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). More than half of them are therefore calling for help in coping with cyber risks. This is the result of a new global study by Sage<\/strong>. The study by the leading provider of specific SME solutions in the areas of accounting, finance, HR and payroll shows how SMEs perceive cyber security and outlines the main hurdles they face in this area.<\/p>

  • Worldwide, 48 per cent of SMEs recorded a cyber security incident last year, 25 per cent even more than one. The figure for Germany was even higher<\/strong>In Germany, 55 per cent reported a cyber security incident.<\/li>
  • 70 per cent of SMEs state that cyber threats are a major problem. However, 72 per cent feel confident in dealing with cyber security and 76 per cent check it regularly. German SMEs, on the other hand, let this review slide in international comparison<\/strong>. Only 68 per cent carry out regular checks - the lowest figure of all the countries involved.<\/li>
