77% of Americans believe their company has gaps in its current security tools, according to Lynx Software survey findings.

The results found that 89% are concerned about external security threats to their company, and nearly the same amount, 86%, are concerned about threats from inside.

The survey results indicate these concerns might be valid as 19% respondents said their company has become less secure since the onset of the pandemic, and 21% said corporate security has remained the same.

69% believe their company is ready to fend off an outside security threat.

These issues are top of mind for employees as 27% said the security of their company crosses their mind while working at least once a week and 77% said they think employees at a more senior level than them are worried about the threats present in their industry.

While respondents indicated that their company has currently invested money in security, remote workforce tools and Industry 4.0 advancements, one in five said their company is not spending enough on security in the next year.
