Apparently a lot of companies in the world who does not know exactly how many new malicious programs which appears every day and just 6% who know exactly how large the amount. This was revealed from a survey of Global Corporate IT Security Risks 2013 conducted by research agency B2B International and Kaspersky Lab from March to June this year.

According to Kaspersky Lab, every day around the world appears about 200 thousand new malware samples. When respondents were requested to mention the number of malware per day according to their estimates, 90% of those mention under the number of 200 thousand, 4% mentioned the number above 200 thousand and only 6% who mention the numbers with true.
Respondents were most aware will the malware are respondents from the Middle East where 24% of respondents there said the number of malware per day with true. While most low, with a value of 4%, of respondents from Russia.

In other regions, including North and South America, Western Europe and Asia Pacific, said the number of respondents who correctly malware per day ranged between 5% - 7%.

The company's ability to know with the exact number of malware per day is not an indicator of their readiness to face cyber attacks. However it must be recognized that the company has better information regarding this is certainly more ready to assess the risks and take appropriate actions to protect their IT infrastructure.
