A study conducted by IT industry analyst IDC found that more businesses are investing in data protection and recovery solutions in order to limit the negative effects of theft, loss or compromise of their corporate information.
The report showed that 55 per cent of respondents have already implemented some form of software or service to back up the information held on corporate computers.
'Firms are now backing up PC data, once a long-forgotten and overlooked information asset. The most prevalent approach is centralised backup software, although legacy approaches still exist,' commented Laura DuBois, programme director of storage software at IDC.
She also predicted that the future could see more companies using measures such as PC management and desktop virtualisation to create greater levels of security within their networks.
InvisiViewmedia.com recently revealed that 98 per cent of employee believe it is important to protect corporate data, but 30 per cent still send confidential information in unsecured emails.
