CHICAGO, April 20, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Middle market companies possess a significant amount of valuable data but continue to lack appropriate levels of protective controls and staffing, according to the RSM US Middle Market Business Index (MMBI) Cybersecurity Special Report released today from RSM US LLP (RSM), in partnership with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. This year's results revealed that 28% of middle market leaders claimed that their company experienced a data breach in the last year, a sharp rise from 18% in last year's survey and the highest level since RSM began tracking data in 2015. Many leaders attributed this increase to challenges created by COVID-19.
