69.1% of professionals with security responsibility believe a rethink is needed to deal with the threat of cybersecurity now that devices and applications have moved outside the corporate network, a SentryBay survey reveals.

The poll aimed to assess attitudes to cyber threats and methods of protecting vulnerable devices.

Changing cybersecurity methods and practices is not an easy task.

The appetite for a change in cybersecurity methods and practices as devices and applications move away from physical offices and controlled networks is clearly important to almost 70% of those working in security, but this does not mean that it is always easy to achieve.

"While cybersecurity should be a priority for all enterprises, it can be a daunting prospect to specify and deploy the right solutions for the company's specific needs," continued Dave Waterson.

"Culture change is often required, the knowledge and experience of security experts should be sought, but most importantly, endpoint devices - the most vulnerable element in the technology stack - need to be protected by proven software."
