### 53%

The percentage of enterprises that reported an increase in cyberattacks in 2016

Cyberthreats are a growing concern for organizations, and IT security professionals see more trouble ahead. Four out of five expect to experience a cyberattack in 2017. The use of mobile is no longer the top security concern, especially as the threat due to the loss of mobile devices has dropped. Instead, the biggest risk factor is the emerging internet of things.
