Security News > 2020 > July > One surefire way to get the boss's attention on network security is to get hacked. But there must be a better way?

With anyone who can work from home actually doing so during the pandemic, networking - and therefore network security - has become more business-critical than it was before.

When Freeform Dynamics surveyed Register readers for their experiences with network security, it was frustrating to see so many say that the one sure way to persuade management to take it seriously was to suffer a major computer security breach.

A few looked a little unsurprising at first, such as the discovery that those who performed best on network security - our top performers - were also less likely to be working with outdated tech, inadequate budgets, and insufficient staff.

Other conclusions both confirmed anecdotal wisdom, and clearly correlated it with poorer network security.
