The author of the study, James Nathan Miller, summarized the findings concisely in the conclusion:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cThere is still much work to be done on the security awareness training front.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2>The majority of US respondents regularly use a VPN \u2013 so should those in the UK<\/h2>\n<p>66% of surveyed Americans said that they use a VPN \u201cfrequently: (e.g. while at home or traveling).\u201d In contrast, only 43% of respondents from the UK said the same. This is despite the fact that UK internet users have the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.privateinternetaccess.com\/blog\/uk-investigatory-powers-act-forces-collection-internet-connection-records-allows-government-see-one-year-internet-history\/\">Investigatory Powers Act<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.privateinternetaccess.com\/blog\/under-new-law-uk-could-force-isps-to-block-reddit\/\">Digital Economy Act<\/a>\u00a0to contend with when they are at home and at work. A whopping 38% of respondents in the UK said that they never use a VPN. Compare that with only 21% of US respondents. In the US, the public is becoming more aware of Congress-approved\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.privateinternetaccess.com\/blog\/president-trump-makes-big-splash-swamp-signs-away-americans-internet-privacy\/\">internet privacy<\/a>\u00a0concerns and that VPN use is necessary to keep one\u2019s internet use history from being sold to third parties.<\/p>\n<h2>Security remains a valid concern in both countries<\/h2>\n<p>Other findings include that Americans are more likely to use a password manager and more likely to have been a victim of identity theft in the past. Some things that UK internet users lead Americans on, though, is awareness about ransomware and physical security. When going to a public place, instead of leaving their laptop in their car, more English would rather lock it in their trunk (or boot). The most important privacy and security tidbit, though, using a VPN \u2013 seems to have been adopted much more widely in the states than across the pond. The survey also revealed some persisting security misconceptions that some internet users hold. For instance, 33% of surveyed Americans still thought that malware was something that \u201cboosts\u201d WiFi signal.<\/p>\n<p>Like this article?
