A new worldwide study has delivered an interesting result. Only 5 out of every 100 companies say they have complete trust in the people who protect them from online threats.

Sophos researchers asked 5,000 organizations across 17 countries about their experiences. The answer was clear: trust is in short supply. A massive 95% of them admitted they do not fully believe in their cybersecurity partners.

One of the biggest headaches for businesses is figuring out who to rely on in the first place. Around 79% said they find it hard to tell whether a new vendor is trustworthy. Even with providers they already work with, it is not much easier. About 62% said evaluating those existing relationships remains tough.

This doubt is also making people nervous. More than half of those surveyed, or 51%, said they now worry more about a major cyberattack happening to them, precisely because they cannot fully trust the vendors they have.

The study suggests the problem goes deeper than just broken software or weak technology. Instead, companies are starting to care more about honesty and responsibility. They want to know if a security provider will come clean about problems and take ownership when things go wrong.

Lastly, the report also looked at what different people inside a company want. Technical leaders, like CISOs, mostly care about open communication during a security incident and steady performance over time. But board members care more about official stamps of approval, like certifications and outside audits.

What does the “IP” rating on your smartphone mean?

If you look at your new phone’s specifications, you will notice something like “IP69 Water and Dust Protection.” This is a common selling point that phone manufacturers and brands show on their specifications. At first glance, it may appear too technical, but it’s actually straightforward. What does the IP code mean?
