Highlighting how endpoint exposure continues to remain a cause for concern, one third of endpoints deployed in the UK currently have no security agent installed.

70 percent of UK businesses say that they cannot ensure that every endpoint has the same level of protection.

This is compounded with 65 percent saying they cannot guarantee every endpoint has the same level of visibility for consistent patching or that every endpoint is secured against the same threats.

The continued move by organizations to enable greater collaboration between users, partners, suppliers, and customers by enabling third-party access to upload documents and files to the cloud, has led to UK businesses feeling concerned about their own cloud-based apps being used as a threat vector.

"In this research, CISO's and SecOps teams have clearly identified the challenges they are facing daily, including a lack of consistent and thorough endpoint security, exposed cloud storage, malicious file uploads and, and crucially, the time taken to resolve identified threats," said Brooks Wallace, VP EMEA at Deep Instinct.

45 percent believe it is currently possible to prevent all malware threats from infiltrating their organization's network and 66% believe it may be possible to prevent all malware threats from infiltrating their organization's network in the next 2-5 years.
