The ESET Cybersecurity Barometer USA is a survey of public opinion about cybersecurity, cybercrime, and related privacy concerns in America.
The survey was conducted because there is a lack of publicly funded research quantifying American public attitudes towards, and experience of, these critically important issues.
This is problematic because public support is vital to the success of cybersecurity efforts, including cybercrime deterrence and data privacy protection.
Those efforts are in turn the key to maximizing the benefits of a wide range of digital technologies upon which the US is heavily reliant.
As a security software company with three decades of experience fighting criminal abuse of digital technology, ESET understands that people are one of the three key factors involved in defeating cybercrime, the other two being process and technology.
Furthermore, people are victimized by cybercrime, people elect the politicians who determine cybercrime policy, and people foot much of the tax bill for law enforcement efforts to reduce cybercrime.
Therefore, knowing what the public thinks about cybercrime and cybersecurity is essential to successful cybercrime policy development and to success in society’s cybersecurity efforts.
