Consumers Increasingly Putting Cybersecurity Responsibilities on Companies Holding Their Data
According to a report released by Gemalto, consumers are putting the responsibility for protecting their personal data in the hands of the organizations holding their data, rather than themselves.
The research, based on a survey the Gemalto conducted, found that while consumers are leaving the data-protecting responsibility with the organization holding the data, only 29 percent of consumers believe companies are taking protection of their personal data “very seriously,” and 58 percent of respondents are fearful of their data being stolen.
