Infographic: Help Your Employees Overcome Cybersecurity Fears

Increased cyber awareness has never been more important for businesses and consumers, as U.S. data breaches continue to increase at a record pace and are predicted to reach an all-time high of over 1,000 in 2017. This increase seems to have contributed to a growth in consumer concerns, as our recent research revealed that consumers’ worries about identity theft and cybercrime are now on par with other common concerns such as illnesses and car accidents. The report also shared the number of consumers concerned about identity theft is increasing year over year.

According the same report, fears of becoming an identity theft victim in the next five years have also risen by twelve percent since 2014, and over half of consumers believe that being a victim of an identity theft or cybercrime will have a significant impact on their life.
