More than one in four companies (26 per cent) expect to experience some form of terrorist attack in the next two years, according to a new report.
The research, by thinktank RAND Europe and The Risk Advisory Group (TRAG), shows that 10 per cent of businesses believe it is 'extremely likely' they will face at least one instance of terrorism.
Thirty-eight per cent of the security and risk managers quizzed thought conventional weapons are the most likely to be used, 32 per cent believed cyber-terrorism would be used, 18 per cent thought chemical or biological attacks would be favoured, and 12 per cent opted for radiological or nuclear terrorism.
However, one in seven firms give staff no security awareness training, and one in five do not screen their candidates before hiring.
