Companies seriously underestimate number of new malicious malware appearing daily

Published 25 June 2013

Most companies significantly underestimate the number of new malicious programs appearing daily, and only 6 percent of these companies recognize the true scale of the threat, says the 2013 Global Corporate IT Security Risks survey. The survey was conducted by analytical authority B2B International and Kaspersky Lab in spring this year. Kaspersky Lab says that nearly 200,000 new malware samples appear around the world each day. Asked to estimate this figure, 90 percent of global participants in the survey named a lower figure; 4 percent guessed too high and only 6 percent gave an accurate estimate.
