Information Security (InfoSec) Surveys conducted worldwide show that the number and type of InfoSec attacks is expanding daily. This is verified and validated through a survey discussed in this paper. The paper asks a number of questions concerning InfoSec issues, outlines a survey designed to answer these questions, and then discusses the results obtained within the framework of those questions. The survey concludes that, although InfoSec awareness exists, best InfoSec practices are usually not being followed. Consequently InfoSec threats are increasing enormously despite the existence of tools designed to protect against them. Of particular concern is ＂human factors＂, since user carelessness and negligence may contribute to the issue and may grant hacker's access to sensitive assets.
