Nearly half of IT professionals believe their infrastructures are not completely protected against vulnerabilities, new research has found.
The study, conducted by Ipsos Research, found that 45 percent of over 600 senior IT personnel throughout Europe questioned felt that their IT infrastructure was "never 100 percent protected from software and network vulnerabilities."
Other findings revealed that over a quarter (27 percent) of those questioned said it takes 48 hours or more from the time a patch is issued to the IT infrastructure being fully protected from that vulnerability. One in five (19 percent) said it takes up to a week or more.
