Spark Services | 1 in 3 Employees Believe That Their Company’s Cyber-security is a Moderate or Major Problem

According to the Nulab Survey, nearly every third employee in a company is of the opinion that their company’s cyber-security leaves much to be desired. Now, with the situation so dire that working remotely is the new norm, it is even more imperative that the people in charge take the bull by the horns and do something about their companies’ problematic cyber-security.

Approximately one thousand full-time employees, who spend at least 4 hours of their day in front of a computer, were interviewed for the purposes of this survey.

Cyber-security Awareness vs. Willingness to Address the Problem

Even though there are many concerns about and threats to cyber-security, the attitude of companies towards the major threat of cyber-security remains relaxed and indifferent, to a large extent. It would scarcely be an exaggeration to say that companies that provide financial services have a lot to improve upon when it comes to spotting and countering cyber-attacks. 

Awareness and Reporting

People who own and run companies must make it a point to create a business environment in which their employees feel comfortable and safe enough to report any threats to the company that they might perceive or be apprehensive about, without the fear of being taken lightly or scolded. The long and short of it is that your employees must feel that their concerns are valid and that they are heard. It is imperative that you make them feel that their inputs are important.

Adopting a Changed and Reformed Attitude Towards Cyber-security and Placing it First on Your List of Priorities

There is no denying the fact that data breaches pose a huge risk to everyone. It is a universal threat, in every sense of the word. To combat this problem, changes need to be made at the grassroots level, that is, by adopting a better and more receptive attitude and culture in your business or company with regard to cyber-security. By adopting an office culture that places importance and lays emphasis on listening to your employees’ concerns and taking measures to resolve them, as well as prioritizing your company’s cyber-security and taking active steps to fortify it, you can increase your chances of detecting and preventing a security breach by a huge margin. It is important to note that the biggest challenge that small companies face is the slow reaction time to spot and counter security breaches in their computer systems as it takes approximately a couple of hundred days for companies to even realize that there has been a security breach in their cyberspace.

Is your business or company struggling to detect and counter, or even prevent frequent cyber-attacks? Are you worried about your employees’ lack of faith in the company’s ability to withstand cyber threats? Do not worry!

About Robert E. Allen Jr. A Journey of Integrity, Innovation, and Impact Welcome to my corner of the web, where the confluence of technology, entrepreneurship, and ethical business practices come to life. I'm Robert E. Allen Jr., a proud native of southern Ohio, where my roots run deep into the fabric of community and hard work. My journey in the tech world began at Shawnee State University, a chapter filled with exploration and the beginnings of a lifelong passion for computer science. However, my academic path took a turn toward the prestigious halls of Penn State, where I completed my degree and set the foundation for what would become a nearly three-decade-long adventure in business. Building an Empire on Principles Nearly 30 years ago, I embarked on an entrepreneurial journey, not just to start a business, but to build an empire defined by a commitment to ethical practices and community service. Inspired by the Rotary four-way test—Is it the truth? Is it fair to all concerned? Will it build goodwill and better friendships? Will it be beneficial to all concerned?—my business philosophy centers on these questions, guiding every decision and interaction. This ethos has not only shaped my professional life but has also fostered a culture of integrity, trust, and mutual respect within my company and with our clients. A Family Man at Heart Beyond the world of bits, bytes, and business, my life is rich with love and laughter, thanks to my wife and our two wonderful daughters. They are my why, the reason behind every late night, every early morning, and every decision to push the boundaries of what's possible. Together, we've created a life filled with memories, learning, and love—a true testament to the balance between professional ambition and personal fulfillment. Looking Forward As I look to the future, my goal is to continue leveraging technology to make a positive impact on the world, guided by the principles that have brought me this far. I strive to innovate, to lead with integrity, and to inspire those around me to do the same. Whether through my business endeavors, community service, or simply by being a role model to my daughters, my journey is about creating a legacy that transcends technology—a legacy of positive change, ethical leadership, and a commitment to making the world a better place for future generations. Thank you for visiting my site. I hope to not only share my journey with you but also to inspire you to pursue your passions, lead with integrity, and make a meaningful impact in your corner of the world.
