When PwC investigates digital security, few Swedes implement measures to reduce their digital vulnerability, despite the fact that cyber threats are increasing.
A new survey from PwC Sweden, published in Aktuell Säkerhet on August 28, shows that a high percentage of Swedes do not take adequate security measures for their computers. 40% of respondents said they had not backed up their computer in the past year, while a third admitted that they had not updated their virus protection. In addition, as many as 60% of respondents said they do not change their passwords regularly, which according to PwC increases digital vulnerability. At the same time, 65% of Swedes feel that cyber threats against Sweden are increasing. In addition, the survey shows that as few as 16% believe that Swedish authorities can withstand a cyber attack. According to PwC, it is worrying that confidence in the cybersecurity of government operations is so low and that confidence-building measures are needed, in parallel with additional resources and training within the Swedish authorities.
