Recently I read about a survey was done by the Penemon Institute and Truste surveyed near about 6, 500 users about which company they felt is most secure, trustworthy protected their private data and their information online. After surveying consumers they published the list of top 20 companies which they feel are most secured. Along with the security of the data, users are now concerned about their computer security as well.
Now, it seems users are more concerned about their privacy and data, they are aware and have followed the Privacy group’s suit. This year Google is not in the list of most secured companies. Last year, it was on 10th position, this year it didn’t even make to the list. Even Microsoft is not on the list. In a article, a spokesperson for the Ponemon Institute said "Google (and Microsoft) suffer from big company syndrome. People figure that if you're big and collecting data, there must be an issue." But that doesn’t explain the reason of Google’s dropping off the list.
I have read somewhere that even installing a Google toolbar on your PC helps Google to take your half of the information. And Google Chrome helps it in getting near about 90% of you data.
American Express is on the top of the list, it’s second in the row for them, followed by eBay at second position and IBM on third. Than it was Amazon who was able to make it for fourth position. Other high-tech companies on the list include Hewlett-Packard (number 6), Apple (number 8), WebMD (number 13), Yahoo (number 14), Facebook (number 15), AOL (number 16), and Dell and eLoan (tied for number 20).
The thing is that Google collects more information about users than any other company and they are not comfortable or feel unsecured about their data, which may be is possible that it get used in a wrong way. Finally Google has to work on its privacy policies.
Let’s see when Google gets into action to resolve the issue…
