A survey of more than 100 UK office workers has revealed that employees are hugely reliant on access to network data to do their jobs, yet show an alarming apathy about the value of that data. The survey was carried out by secure online backup specialist, Databarracks, and the findings are a stark warning to UK businesses:
- Data dependent: Workers are so dependent on corporate data that 84% felt they couldn’t do their job for more than half a day if they lost access to it, whilst 43% felt they could not cope for any period without access
