It's National Cyber Security Awareness Month, and The Hartford Steam Boiler Inspection and Insurance Company (HSB), part of Munich Re, has released the results of its Cyber Risk Survey. According to the study, risk managers are aware of the heightened threat of cyber attacks their businesses face, but even still, a large portion of them don't believe they are doing enough to combat that threat.

HSB surveyed 102 risk managers on-site at the 2015 Risk and Insurance Management Society (RIMS) Conference (RIMS) in New Orleans on April 27. The risk managers represented small (7% of risk managers surveyed), mid- (30%) and large-sized (63%) businesses in industries including manufacturing/industrial; retail; financial services; government/military; medical/healthcare; and education.
