42% of SMEs only update their anti-virus software once a week, reveals Sophos survey
A survey from Sophos, a global leader in anti-virus protection for businesses, has revealed that nearly half of small to medium-sized businesses* only update their anti-virus software once a week or even less regularly. This is despite the fact that the latest email and internet-aware viruses often spread around the globe within a matter of minutes and that around 150 new viruses are analysed each week. In contrast, 29 per cent of larger companies update their anti-virus software with this frequency. Sophos's poll was completed by more than 4,500 system administrators at companies of all sizes from all around the world.
