The importance of educating and training all staff on IT security issues and procedures has been highlighted by one expert.Ensuring everyone knows the correct way to react to things such as spam email is worth the effort and makes the whole company safer, explained Luis Corrons, technical director for Panda Security.
He highlighted the benefits of talking to and training staff about computer security, something which could be done with the aid of an IT contractor.
Mr Corrons also reminded businesses to keep all their systems updated with the latest security software and suggested having a separate computer which is only used for online banking.
The cloud-based security solutions firm pointed out that countries which focus on IT training are less likely to be infected by viruses or bots.
India is the most infected country according to the firm's figures, followed by Mexico and Brazil.
