Symantec unveils State of Information Survey

VARINDIA- INDIA'S FRONTLINE IT MAGAZINE

 

Symantec has recently announced the India findings of its State of Information Survey. According to the survey, business data in Indian organizations is expected to grow 67 per cent in the next 12 months. From confidential customer information and intellectual property, to financial transactions, organizations in India possess massive amounts of information that not only enable them to be competitive and efficient - but also stay in business. 

In fact, the survey revealed that digital information makes up 51 per cent of an organization’s total value. However, with information spiralling rapidly, 60 per cent Indian businesses are struggling to effectively manage and protect their digital information.  

Anand Naik, Managing Director – Sales, India and SAARC, Symantec, commented, “Our survey shows that only 15 per cent of businesses in India can confidently use their business information without being either too permissive or too restrictive about its access.”

“Without the ability to properly protect their information assets, this data can become a liability. To counter this, businesses in India need to put in place a plan to manage their data assets so they can have a true competitive advantage,” he further remarked.
