According to research by Viking Cloud, 49 percent of respondents in the UK - and 54 percent in Ireland - were concerned about job security, while 75 percent of UK respondents (and 51 percent in Ireland) indicated they were confident in their ability to detect and respond to cyber-attacks in real time.
