INTERNET USER
Almost half say
personal, financial
and medical threats
that originate online
can manifest in the
physical world.
The other half have
a traditional threat
perception and do
not see physical and
online threats as
interlinked.
3. Feeling concerned
THOSE WITH THE
HIGHEST NUMBER OF
THREAT CONCERNS
ALSO FEEL THE SAFEST
Merely addressing threat
concerns is not enough; the
focus should be on supporting
those who feel less in control.

TRUST IN ORGANIZATIONS TO SAFEGUARD
THEIR PERSONAL DATA
› The key areas in which consumers need support
are in preventing online identity theft and
securing financial and contact information
online.
› As online and offline threats are merging,
safeguarding solutions that span both domains
will become more important.
