Security practitioners know hackers are working overtime to attack their
networks; that they're relying on outdated and unreliable security
protocols. Despite it all, many still get a good night's rest.
Of 337 IT managers and administrators surveyed April 26-30, 32% worry
about "the next virus/worm" and an equal percentage fear "a security
breach to the enterprise's network." But 34% said they have "no worries"
at all and "sleep like a baby," according to results published this week
by a Michigan research firm.

And the press release

Two issues tied as being of prime concern to those network administrators
surveyed: 32% responded that they worry most about "the next virus/worm"
and an equal percentage answered they worry most about "a security breach
to the enterprise's network." The big surprise was that 34% of survey
respondents said they had "no worries and sleep like a baby."
