Information Security (InfoSec) Surveys conducted worldwide show that the number and type of\r\nInfoSec attacks is expanding daily. This is verified and validated through a survey discussed in\r\nthis paper. The paper asks a number of questions concerning InfoSec issues, outlines a survey\r\ndesigned to answer these questions, and then discusses the results obtained within the\r\nframework of those questions. The survey concludes that, although InfoSec awareness exists,\r\nbest InfoSec practices are usually not being followed. Consequently InfoSec threats are\r\nincreasing enormously despite the existence of tools designed to protect against them. Of\r\nparticular concern is ââ?¬Å?human factorsââ?¬Â, since user carelessness and negligence may contribute to\r\nthe issue and may grant hackerââ?¬â?¢s access to sensitive assets.
