Cloud computing and social networking exposes firms to cyber attacks and data breaches finds Infosecurity/PricewaterhouseCoopers research
Cloud computing and social networking is leaving UK businesses exposed to cyber attacks and data breaches.

The survey findings were based on responses from security professionals at over 500 organisations spread across all industry sectors.
